When properties are moving quickly and your home doesn’t sell within the first couple of weeks, buyers will start to perceive your home as market-worn. They’ll assume there is an issue with it and consider themselves in a stronger bargaining position or reject the home altogether. If you overprice it, you’ll lose the sweet spot of the first 45 days on the market. Even if you price it $20K over, instead of making an offer, they’ll move on. Your house will take longer to sell and you’ll likely end up having to cut the price anyway. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we know that people don’t buy empty, nice, renovated houses. People buy homes and staging makes a house a home. Strategic staging offers prospective buyers visual cues to help them picture your house as their home which can translate to a sale. Take the time to act like a buyer and enter your home from the front door, remembering that they will be spending time waiting for the Realtor to unlock the door. Touch up paint, clean off cobwebs, shine your door handle and freshen up the landscaping. This all makes for a good first impression. Check out below to see what sold in Arcadia Ridge in March 2016:

It’s important to hire a Realtor that you like, trust and respect. Even in a lively market, if you don’t match well with your listing agent, your sale could be adversely affected.
