Real Estate and Life Cycles – Nothing Stays the Same Forever.

Life is in constant change – from birth to death. Some periods seem to move slowly while others speed along rapidly. There are challenges along the way and, ultimately, a new life provided one believes in the Promise. 

A house or condo starts out much the same.   Created by someone else, your move into the structure brings it life.  Memories are created while in it and eventually you move on either by relocation or life changes.

Nothing stays the same forever - life or real estate. 

If life changes are necessitating relocation to Brevard County, Florida, please let me know if If may assist you in any way.

If life changes require downsizing, even moving into an assisted living facility, call on me to discuss how I may assist with selling your house or condo.

The good thing about life changes and real estate changes – there is help for both if you ask!

All I Do Is Harp About "The Price!"

In real estate, be it residential or commercial, it is all about price. 
The saying that people always throw about is “Location, Location, Location!”

But, the truth - “it is all about price, price, price!”

Several key issues come into play when determining price, such as:
  • Location, 
  • Highest and Best Use of location,
  • Condition,
  • Similar property sales (recent),
  • Competition (supply vs. demand)
Here we have been discussing the price but not the value? The market (buyer) will set the price based on the perceived value.

Not Bank Owned, Not A Short Sale

Still… it is not going to sell!  Why?  Your Price.

Although a house or condo may not be a short sale or REO/Foreclosure property, the price must still be consistent with the competition.

If properties in the same condo complex, subdivision or neighborhood are in similar condition then you have to price competitively.

But I caution you (or at least your real estate agent) see these properties before you establish your price. 

There is nothing wrong with asking your prospective listing real estate agent to show you a couple of the competitors in your immediate area.

If a real estate agent will not spend the time to show you the others, they may not be willing to spend the time marketing your property after you hire them!

Don’t believe the myth that all short sales are in bad condition thus the lower price!

Considering selling your Viera, Suntree, Rockledge or  Melbourne, Florida home?  Call me at 321-693-3850 to discuss how I can assist you.
