Market Savvy: Do’s & Donts for Las Vegas Homes Buyers and Sellers
It might be
unrealistic to state that the housing market is completely rosy right now, but
neither is it thorn-filled at all. In reality, situations are decidedly looking
up. The good news for both Las Vegas homes buyers and sellers is that even in this tough market there are many ways to achieve success.
While challenges
remains, for example, obtaining the best price when selling or securing a good
financing opportunities, this can be achieve with plenty of happy results for
both buyers and sellers. The important thing for both groups is to remain
flexible, adaptable and diligent. With this, here are some dos and don’ts to
ponder.
For Sellers:
DO’S
Be Flexible.
Sometimes it’s the little items that push a buyer to the yes zone. When the
buyer continues about how much they love your icemaker, throw it in. In the
event the closing needs to be pushed ahead more than you would expect, try to
be as flexible as you possibly can and pack the moving van a bit quicker.
Clean up the
place. One person’s prized item is another person’s cluttered nightmare. Set
aside any personal collections that does not only cause clutter but also allow
it to be hard for the buyer to view Las Vegas homes as his or hers, rather than yours.
DON’TS
Don’t be greedy.
The market and not your feelings dictate your home price. If comparables in your community, and as well
as some trusted realtors inform you that your house is worth $500,000, then
don’t fool yourself by pricing it a bit higher like $600,000. With a stunt like
this, you are just doing yourself a disservice.
But if you price it a little lower, it will create a bidding war and
even get you more money.
For Buyers:
DO’S
Have a Home
inspection. It is imperative that you
hire a reliable home inspector to check out the house potential issues or
problems. It is better to walk away from a clunker house as early before buying
it.
Think & talk
before you act. Don’t ever begin a search for Las Vegas homes
without having a
firm budget literally written on paper. You don’t want to buy a property that
is not affordable to you then be worried later on how to pay for it.
DON’TS
Don’t come up
with a silly offer. There is no problem
with making an offer that is below the selling price, it’s no secret that many
homes are selling under its original price. But going below 45% the selling
price may anger the seller. You can make a deal but not too low that you will
be immediately kicked off the table or market.
