The heat of summer is behind us, school's in session, and many homebuyers are settled into their new homes. What happens next for your listings that are still on the market?

Things may be cooling off, but that doesn't mean you can't sell a home in the fall and winter months. In fact, prospects who are shopping this time of year tend to be more serious than a lot of the "tire kickers" in the spring and summer.

Why Is It Not Selling


If you are selling your home and it has been on the market for several months, you might start to wonder why it just isn't moving. How can you introduce some extra energy into the sale?

The first thing you should do is review the feedback from prospective buyers who have seen your home, and other agents who have shown it. Does your home look its best? Is it accessible for agents to show on short notice? Is the price in line with the rest of the market? Do you need to consider neutralizing any strong decorating features that may not have wide appeal?

Getting your home sold is a collaborative effort between you and your real estate agent. It is important for your agent to market your property aggressively, but you must do your part to ensure that buyers see a home that is as appealing as it can be. Ask your agent for any new ideas that will create results
According to our MLS - Lafayette Multiple Listing Servie there have been 4,645 homes listed for sale in the Lafayette marketplace with just 2,323 of those properties sold.

Pricing Strategies must be very competitive and on the mark in order to sell. According to the National Association of Realtors is a property is on the market for 90 days and has not sold there is only a 20% of it selling in the nxt 90 days. It is critical to price your home right from the start in today's market.

Selecting A Real Estate Agent
Finding the right real estate agent to help you in your search is the important first step to take when you are ready to buy a new home. Some people feel it is better to use someone you don't know--I can't agree with this thought because someone you know will usually go above and beyond the call of duty and have you as top priority at all times.

Knowledge, professionalism and experience are the important factors to consider when selecting a real estate agent. You should also look for someone who listens carefully to what you want in a new home and who knows the market well enough to find the right house for you within a reasonable period of time. Be comfortable with the person you choose. If you feel like the real estate agent is sensitive to your needs and desires, you will feel confident working with that person.

It is important that your first meeting with a Realtor is to complete a Needs Analysis and discover what type of home and location you are looking for. This also allows you to get to know the Realtor before looking at homes. It is important that personalities work well together and that you have the utmost confidence and trust in your Realtor.

Tips for First Time Investors

Tips for First Time Investors


When starting out as a real estate investor, you can choose either the conservative approach of holding a property until it increases in value or the riskier approach of "flipping" - reselling very soon after making some improvements that add value. If you plan on taking the safer approach, keep the following factors in mind when searching for the right investment property.

Look for a house or apartment unit that is close to where you live, so inspecting the property and overseeing maintenance will be easier. Choose an area where there is clear potential for future development, and you will benefit from the inevitable increase in property values. If you have the choice of either buying a newly built or recently remodeled home or a less expensive house in the same neighborhood that needs a cosmetic makeover, buy the bargain property and upgrade it for a better long-term return on your investment.

Contact The Romanski Group with Keller Williams Realty today to learn more about investing in the Lafayette and West Lafayette area markets. We also suggest reading the Millionaire Real Estate Investor book and FLIP - both written by Gary Keller to get acquainted with real estate investments.
