Consideration of Current Market Conditions for your home:
- Are home prices in your area trending upwards or downwards?
- Are homes selling quickly or languishing?
- Will your home be on the market in the spring home-buying season or the dead of winter?
- What are current interest rates for mortgages?
- Will you be selling in a Buyers or a Sellers market?
- Is the local job market strong or are employees fearful of staff reductions?
- How motivated are you for a quick sale?
- Is it necessary for you as Seller to provide “incentives” such as a “pre-home sale” inspection, Home Buyers Warranty, financing assistance, Selling Agent bonuses? Many of these factors will be weighed in the First Step in marketing your Home – STEP 3 Determining the Listing Price.

- Is the home well-maintained?
- Would you be inclined to buy this home?
