Sell Your Key West Home Faster

 

 

How can you list and sell your Key West home faster?


Once you've made the decision to sell your home, the most important step you can take is choosing the right real estate agent to list your property. All agents are not created equal, so it's crucial to work with a REALTOR® who understands the local market context and has a strong marketing presence. A knowledgeable agent will help you devise a realistic listing price and a comprehensive selling strategy.


Seller strategies have to be realistic and fluid, so it’s important to understand the context of the market at any given time. Most sellers who are stuck with long marketing times tend to price their homes based on influences outside the market itself, such as emotional attachments to the property or personal determinations of value. These common mistakes can be costly in the final contract price because they slow down marketing time.

The longer you market a property, the less likely you are to net your listing price because the listing becomes stale. Simply based on the number of days a property has been sitting on the market, buyers often assume that there's a good reason the property hasn't sold yet. The assumption is that there must be something wrong with the property or it must be overpriced by an unrealistic seller.


A clear and accurate assessment of value and strategic list price will bring the highest net yield in a sale. That’s because these are the same factors that will bring the most attention, and therefore the most competition, to a property. When pricing a home, you should look at the current ratio of listing price to selling price, obtain a fair and realistic current market value of your property, and adjust up based on the list price-sale price ratio. In addition to a comprehensive Comparative Market Analysis, Royal Palms Realty provides our sellers with a bi-weekly Marketing Report. This allows the seller to follow along with Live Market Data, including new listings, price reductions, and recent sales.
