How To Sell your Southern Utah Property

Home Selling Tips

I am going to address a problem that many people run into in Southern Utah.  How do I get my home sold in this market.   While there are many anwsers to this question, I think the biggest anwser comes in increasing your curb appeal.   Here is the process I go through before put a piece of my real estate on the market.  

The first thing you want to do is get a good CMA done.  CMA stands for Compairative Market Analysis, which basically means you need to compair your home against your competition.  You have to be honest with yourself during this process.  You want to compair like homes.  Just because your neighbor 3 blocks over got 500,000 for there home doesn't mean your home is worth it.  You want to compair location, square footage, amenities, lot size and age of house.   Find the 3 homes that are currently listed that are the most like yours and price your home according to your time frame to sell.   You also want to find the 3 homes most like yours that have RECENTLY sold.  This should give you what you can expect ot sell your home for.   Notice there is a big differance between asking price and sales price.  Think of this gap as your negociating room.

The next thing you will want to do is have your very best friend come over.  You know the one that would tell you if your zipper is down!  Have them look at your home and tell you all the minor problems that they can see.  Listen to what they have to say and be objective.  I realize this is hard to do because this is your home but what you like may not be what other like.  Listen to what your friend has to say and make any changes that aren't to costly. 

Make sure the lawn is mowed, the house is clean, windows are open and the lights are on.  This will help to show your home in the very best light.
