Saline Michigan Real Estate - The Importance of Pricing


Price really does matter in the sale of your Saline home or condo!

In good times and bad, in buyer's markets or seller's markets, the number one influence on the sale of your Saline home or condo is Price, Price, Price.  Oh, sure, the three most important issues to most buyers (and sellers) are Location, Location, and Location.  But unless you have a mobile home, there's not much you can do to move the location of your home.

Having lived in Saline since 1985, I've seen the changes in price of most Saline home or condo over the years.  In fact, since 1996, I've kept records of the pace of sales activity in the Saline area.  It's what I call my Total Market Overview, or TMO for short.

Using the TMO, I can show you how, since 1996, we have moved from a moderate seller's market, to a strong seller's market, to a neutral market, to now - a strong buyer's market.  If you'd like to see the graphical TMO, I usually post it around the middle of each month.

Today's market conditions - a strong buyer's market - means the following:

There are many more homes for sale than there are buyers looking for a home.  In economic terms, we have too much supply chasing too few buyers.  Price has to come down until the extra supply is finally sold off.

So, getting the price of the house right is the number one influence on getting your Saline home or condo sold today, and getting on with your life.

If you're considering selling your Saline home or condo, you owe it to yourself to take advantage of my experience in pricing your home to market.  I'd be happy to meet with you!  Just give me a call at (734) 476-2063, or send an e-mail, "Vance (at) SalineMichiganRealEstate (dot) com".

This post should be required reading for anyone even contemplating selling a home this year. With all the chaos in the market, I'm STILL running into sellers that believe that their home is the oasis in the middle of the foreclosure desert, so they should still be getting 2003 prices. Price is the key - I've seen homes sell in days in this market when they've been priced right.


This is good information Vance.
