Just when you thought that the real estate market couldn?t get any stranger- in come the 2012?second quarter statistics.? As usual, there are two key factors at play: inventory and price.? And both are down.? The actual number of sales, however, has increased by about 17% over last year?s second quarter and the number of distressed sales (short sales and foreclosures) increased by about 15% compared to last year.? The average number of days on the market remains unchanged at roughly 96.? Translation?? Houses are selling, but for less money and buyers are patiently looking for a great deal (foreclosures and short sales).? Further translation?? While competition may be down, it is stiff.? So as a seller, if you cannot compete with the distressed sales on the basis of price (which by the way, you can?t)- you need to compete on presentation.? It is very simple.? If you could invest $250 on staging and sell your home just one month faster than your competition, how much would that mean to you?? What are your carrying costs for a month- mortgage, insurance, taxes, utilities?? What about the stress and pressure of having your home on the market?? The answer too is simple: Let Premiere Home Staging help you navigate this sticky market.
