It's a great moment to be selling your home in the Prescott area! With historically low inventory and many buyers, now is the time to get your home on the market.

Even though inventory of available homes is struggling to keep up with such strong demand, buyers still do have choices.

The key concern should be how you ensure that you are at the top of their list of options.

Here are some key ways to help ensure that you stay ahead of the pack:

Your asking price - While the possibilities of attracting multiple offers are very good at the present time, it remains vital that you price strategically to appeal to the widest cross section of buyers. Even though homes are selling really well, buyers remain very cost conscious and there is still the distinct possibility that an over ambitious asking price may result in a drastically reduced number of viewings, or even none...

Pricing your home "in the market" is a question of working closely with an experienced agent who knows exactly where your property sits, in terms of buyer sentiment, recent sales in your area and current pricing in the appropriate market sector. The goal should always be to achieve a very finely optimized price that attracts maximum interest and creates the best opportunities for competing bids.

Condition - The most well presented, or staged, homes always have the upper hand in terms of the perceptions of buyers and their enthusiasm for a specific property. The term "move in ready" has arguably never been of more importance to them and homes that clearly require attention in terms of maintenance and appearance will simply be a less attractive proposition. Attention to detail is vital, right down to repairing light bulbs or a leaking faucet. Buyers will always assume there are a range of other problems just waiting to be discovered, once they've uncovered just one issue.

Help to ease the selling process - Some of the most well qualified buyers don't work to a standard 9am-5pm schedule. This can mean that they can only view your home at what you might regard as unusual or awkward times in the early morning or during the evening. Inflexibility in terms of your unwillingness to accommodate this can sometimes be enough to see your home taken off the shortlist...
