Today, I address a phenomenon that many people in Albany have asked us about. Why do some homes sell quickly, while others sit on the market for an extended period of time?

The reason some homes sell faster than others is pretty obvious. Selling a home requires a lot of work. Many people don't want to put forth the time, effort, and money it takes to have a successful home sale. The way we live in our homes and how we prep them for sale are two very different things. 

What kind of work does it take to sell in Albany? Redoing hardwood floors, painting, and doing other cost-effective updates are required if you want to sell quickly and for top dollar. It's all about spending $1 to get $2 back, but many homeowners don't want to do that.

The homes that sell are those that are priced correctly and have been maintained and updated by the sellers. If you're buying in this market, you may be able to get a great deal on homes that have not been taken care of. Look for a home that needs a cosmetic update, things you can do cheaply, and reap some entrepreneurial profit from it. 

If you're considering selling, give us a call. We have a professional stager and expert strategies to not only get your home sold quickly, but for top dollar! The best part is that if we fail to get your home sold, we'll buy it ourselves.
