Pricing Your Home For Sale

The Washington Post recently published these tips for selling your home and pricing it to sell. Pricing Your Home: Here are some tips on how to price a home you're selling. * Don't base the price on what you paid or what your neighbor got a few years ago. * Do examine the prices of homes for sale in your neighborhood, as well as the prices of comparable homes that have sold in the past three to six months. * Don't pick an agent simply because he or she suggested the highest list price. * Do pick an agent who offers a thoughtful explanation for the price he or she is suggesting. * Don't set your price based on emotional attachments and cherished memories. * Do ask your agent to reassess the competitive landscape every few weeks to make sure your asking price is in sync with the market. * Don't be stubborn. If weeks go by without any offers, the price most likely does not reflect the value of the home. It's time to consider cutting the price. * Do be patient. You might have to wait longer for buyers to pull their money together now that lenders have toughened their standards. Stop right there!

2007 Ormond By The Sea Condo Market

There were 50 Condos sold in Ormond By The Sea in 2007 compared to 43 in 2006. Five of the 2007 sales were listed by Ocean View Realty Group. At the end of 2006 there were 151 Condos for sale and at the end of 2007 there were 125. Many owners, espewcially those that purchased at the higher end when the market was hot are holding out for prices to go back up before putting their property on the market. Some would face a substantial loss if their property sold in the current market. Almost half of the 50 Condos sold in 2007 sold for $215,000 or less. There were 11 sales of 2 bedroom, 2 bath, ocean view condos above the first floor for $215,000 or less. That compares to zero in 2006. Of the 10, 2006 sales under $215,000 all were non ocean view or first floor units. Selling prices for ocean view condos across A1A from the beach in 2006 ranged from $265,000 to $346,000. Those selling prices are pretty much unattainable in the current market.
