The Best Homes Sell Fast

In today's market, many people think that it will take months to sell their property. I can tell you that many of the best ones sell very quickly, often within a few days of going on the market. If the home is in a range first time buyers can afford, is well maintained and decorated to appeal to many of these typically younger buyers - it can sell fast. The type of decor that seems to get my young buyers attention is the "Pottery Barn" style and colors. It must be marketed on the internet with as many pictures as possible, as that is how it will be seen by the most buyers in the least amount of time. Many saavy buyers and their agents have searches set up to alert them as soon as a property meeting their specifications comes on the market. This is why the pictures are so important - they will judge immediately whether it is a house they want to see in person. The buyers must be preapproved and ready to act when they find the right one, as any delay can result in losing the house to someone else. This may sound like what happens in a seller's market, instead of in today's well publicized buyers market but in the last month, I have personnally been involved in three multiple offer situations, all within the first days the houses were listed for sale.
