Selling Advice for Homeowners On the Wrong Side of the Boom
Economy
Posted by Editor
Homeowners who bought their homes on the tail end of the real estate boom and now try to sell are finding it difficult. Here are some tips for getting out from under a difficult financial situation.
When my husband and I bought our home in April 2005, the Washington, D.C.-area housing market was in a frenzy. We'd paraded through homes, all priced at far more than half a million dollars, with cracked foundations, slanting floors, and "slight" flooding problems. We'd been told that it was likely we'd lose bidding wars to folks willing to waive the home inspection contingency. In fact, we had lost bids on two other homes, even with escalation clauses that sometimes went thousands over asking price. The market around the area had been red-hot for several years, long enough that many of us forgot it could be any other way.
But sure enough, the slowdown hit, bringing with it a record inventory of homes and a sea of sellers perplexed by their misfortune. Now, three years later, there's still no end in sight.
So what do you do if you're on the wrong side of a slowing market? Selling in a slump is part mental adjustment, part common sense.
Here are some critical pieces of advice for selling your home in a slowing market:
Price it right. Most real estate agents agree that pricing your home correctly is one of the best strategies you can employ in a competitive market. But this is also one of the toughest hurdles for sellers who remember last year's asking prices. Because things have been changing in this market from month to month, it can be hard to get a handle on what kind of pricing the market will allow. This means you must rely heavily on the expertise of your real estate agent and a property appraiser.
Remember: That was then, this is now. Simply forget that your neighbor sold his fixer-upper back in 2004 in three hours for $20,000 above the asking price. The new "normal" is likely to involve making concessions to your buyer, such as price adjustments, home repairs, or help with closing costs.
Get picky. Invite a brutally honest friend to walk through your home and point out potential turn-offs for buyers. A fresh set of eyes may catch things (the spot on the wall where your three-year-old squashed PlayDoh, for example) that a proud homeowner no longer sees.
Remove the clutter. Excess stuff is visually distracting, and it creates a bad first impression. Rent a storage unit to house non-essentials while your home is on the market. For just a few hundred dollars, you'll have given your house a mini-makeover that buyers will appreciate.
Create neutral territory. While you don't have to paint everything white, it does help to tone down unusual color choices and to remove personal items from view (bye bye, Elvis memorabilia!). You want potential buyers to be able to envision themselves in your home, not critique your taste.
Sweat the small stuff. Repaint, replace fixtures, clean, plant flowers -- in short, do whatever you can do to make your home put its best foot forward to a potential buyer. With a glut of inventory, buyers can afford to be choosy.
Think on your feet. Sellers need to stay alert in this kind of market. Another house comes on the market in your neighborhood? Ask your agent to visit it and sees how the price and condition compare to yours. Get a lowball offer? Before you turn it down, get the latest comps for your area to see if prices have shifted. Getting traffic in your house but no offers? Make sure your agent is calling other real estate agents for their feedback. Staying on top of your home-selling process is the key to securing a good offer.
While the sellers of today must be made of sterner stuff than in years past, there's no reason to panic. People are still buying, just not with the same wild-eyed intensity of yesteryear. Follow these tips to optimize your position all the way to the closing table.

30-Year Rates Climb Past 6%
Daily Real Estate News | May 30, 2008
Freddie Mac reports a jump in the 30-year fixed mortgage rate to 6.08 percent during the week ended May 29 from 5.98 percent the prior week, marking a two-month high triggered by investor concern over inflation.
The 15-year mortgage rate climbed to 5.66 percent from 5.55 percent over the same period, while the five-year adjustable rate rose slightly to 5.62 percent from 5.61 percent.
However, the one-year ARM slipped to 5.22 percent from 5.24 percent.
In the event of worsening inflationary pressures, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher says, "I would expect a change of course in monetary policy to occur sooner rather than later, even in the face of an anemic [economy]."

This chic traditional with a modern flair is nestled in the hills of Mt. Washington
$594,000 (LP)
Beds: 2 Baths: 1 (1 0 0 0) (FTHQ) Sq Ft: 1307* Lot Sz: 5211sqft*
Area: 680 Yr: 1949*
This chic traditional with a modern flair is nestled in the hills of Mt. Washington and gazes out to a wooded canyon making it easy to commune with nature every day. The living room and dining area are laid out to provide thoughtful use of space, logical flow to an alluring deck and perfectly showcase the canvas of views framed by architecturally inspired walls of windows and a fireplace that provides both warmth and intriguing design. Elevate or cultivate a joy for cooking in the period kitchen and look no further for inspiration than through the windows of a corner nook with views of a rustic tapestry rarely achieved while living so close to a major urban center. Some people have the misconception that the sacrifice one makes for incredible views is often that of a flat grassy expanse for outdoor entertaining or impassioned gardening. Not only will you have both, most likely, you'll find it impossible to believe any one would ever settle for anything less.
