Ten Hot Tips to Sell Your Austin Home
If you’re following the news you can hardly miss hearing that the real estate market in Austin, Texas is heating up! Due to the $8000 tax credit for first time buyers, the $6500 tax credit for move-up buyers, and the lowest interest rates in years, homes are moving fast. If you’re thinking of selling your Austin home our recommendation is to strike now before the deadlines on theses credits expire.

Once you’ve decided that you want to sell, it’s always good to get a general idea of what the market is like in your particular neighborhood. In addition to looking at all the available listings in the MLS that you’ll be competing with, it’s also important to look at what homes are actually selling for. Always keep in mind that many of the active listings will not sell. While many Realtors will prepare a Comparative Market Analysis for you, I’ve found that it’s better if a seller has an idea of value prior to our meeting. With that in mind, we always like to email a Market Snapshot prior to our first meeting to familiarize the seller with the available active MLS listings and Sold MLS listings.
Once you’ve decided on a Realtor to list your house and a good list price it’s time to get it to market! We aways like to caution sellers that you are entering into a price contest and a beauty contest, so be ready. The following video will give you some tips on what to do and expect as you move forward in selling your home.
We hope this information has been helpful. If you have any questions or would like to meet with us please let us know.
