What's My House Worth?

My last three listings all went under contract in under 2 weeks.  Pricing your home in accordance with what the Fair Market Value is in your area, is crucial to bringing in acceptable offers.  


First impressions are everything when selling your home. Studies have shown that the first two weeks on the market are the most crucial to your success. During these initial days, your home will be exposed to all active buyers. If your price is perceived as too high, you will quickly lose this initial audience and find yourself relying only on the trickle of new buyers entering the market each day. 


With dwindling inventory and trending multiple offers, Austin is now moving into a Seller's Market.  If you're thinking about putting your house on the market, let me know and I can provide you with the market stats for your neighborhood.  


According to Leonard Guerrero, the Austin Board of Realtor' s chairman, "2012 is on pace to be the Austin housing market's strongest summer since the recession."
