The Easier Realtors Can Show Your Home….the More Likely It Will Sell Quickly

Hiring the right realtor can obviously make a huge difference in the home selling process.  From marketing expertise, to advise on pricing and home prep a goodFusion J unit kitchens realtor is there to help at ever step of the way.

Beyond hiring the right realtor, sellers have a lot that they can do that will make a big difference, whether getting a higher price, or even the difference between selling or not.

One of the decisions a seller controls is just how easy it is for buyers and agents to see the house.  Simply put, the easier it is for people to see, the more likely the interest level is higher.  We’ve seen a few homes in Fusion lately that may have sold sooner and possibly at a higher number if there was easier access to the home.   I often joke with my clients that the ideal for a realtor is “a vacant house that is staged”.  That is rarely the reality however.  As every situation is different it’s sometimes not all that easy….whether it’s tenant occupied, sellers that work from a home office, or simply not wanting to have your life upended.

We stress to our clients that the key is to make the home accessible in certain ways even when total access isn’t.  It’s fine to limit showings to certain days or hours…but make it very easy to see other times.  If the showings need to be restricted during the week (whether because of sleeping kids, home office or just not wanting dinner to be disturbed) consider having open house so that interested parties have an alternative.  If you limit showing ability too much potential buyers will simply lose interest.

Although not all of these may be possible, there are a few things that sellers may want to consider:

  • If the property is tenant occupied (and the tanants are not eager for the home to sell) consider waiting until the lease is up and selling the home after the tenants move out.
  • Consider offering a rent reduction for the tenants while the home is on the market in exchange for the tenants willingly accomodating showings and open houses.
  • If there are challenges allowing showings during the week, have open houses on the weekend so that your realtor can offer potential buyers options and alternatives….look like you’re accomodating.
  • One nice aspect to open house that you can not only get a lot of the buyers through that might want to arrange a showing, but also get many of the less serious crowd through without much effort.
  • Instead of repeatedly saying no to showing requests, make it clear when the home “can” be shown.  Your realtor can put showing instructions on the MLS that specifies all of the times that the home can be shown.

First Quarter Recap – Home Sales in Fusion Through March

by

It’s been a slow year so far in Fusion with only 4 properties on the market in 2019 thus far.  Currently there is only one active listing at 5403 149th Pl #4 which hasBeautiful A unit interior spaces in Fusion been on the market since mid January.  It’s a beautiful home but a challenge to get in for a tour which is partially responsible for the long time on the market.

Currently one home is in escrow at 5406 #18 which is a 2 bedroom C floorplan that had been on the market for a while.

The only other activity for the year were two sales that have thus far closed in 2019.  Both were 3 bedroom J units which are normally very rare but seemed to be a wave of them in 2018 early 2019.  The home at 5512 W 149th Place Unit #11 sold off market in January (and was quickly rented out) but had been on the market in and out of escrow in 2018. The home at 5402 W 149th Place Unit#12 sold after one week. It was listed at $829,000 and sold at $820,000. It was a nicely upgraded unit but location was a bit of a challenge with views of the electrical substation.

**udate – as of 3/5/19 this home is now in escrow**
We’ve written quite a bit about the C floorplan currently for sale in the 5406 #18 as it’s surprising to see it still on the market.  The
C floorplan is fairly rare and the appeal generally lies in the fact that it’s significantly bigger than the smallest A and B units (around 1,000 square feet), and it offers a 2 car attached garage (A and B units have a 1 car detached garage)  My clients feedback indicates that the floorplan isn’t one of the preferred but again given the size difference between this and the smaller units it’s surprising to see it still on the market.  It certainly appears to be an indication of a slowing market in a community that was white hot in 2018.

We’ve written quite a bit about the E floorplan currently for sale in the 5403 #4 as it’s surprising to see it still on the market.  The E floorplan is one of the most popular in the community and with the last sale being well over $800,000 it’s hard to see why this home is still for sale.  It certainly appears to be a cooling of the real estate market in Fusion South Bay.  The 5403 #4 home is one of the larger 2 bedroom layouts with around 1,400 square feet*
