Is Your Union County NC Home the Shiniest Apple in the Bowl?

Is Your Union County NC Home the Shiniest Apple in the Bowl?

Did you see that centerpiece of fruit at the buffet table?  Beautiful pears, strawberries and apples made you pause and look but one piece of fruit made your mouth water.  Instinctively, you reached for it.  Why?  Because it was the shiniest apple in the bowl.

The buffet table can teach a valuable lesson about selling your Union County NC home in a buyer’s market.  It must be so mouthwatering that buyers instinctively reach for it.  It must be the shiniest apple in the bowl.

What does that mean?

Being the shiniest apple in real estate means that the condition of your home is top-notch.  It also means that your price is compelling.  It means that your home will rise above the rest of the homes on the market and not drown in the sea of sameness.

You already know what to do to improve the condition of your home.  It’s relatively easy to rise above the many distressed properties on the market.  Fresh paint, new carpet, minor repairs and spotless bathrooms and kitchens will make buyers remember your home.  Hire a home stager to make it truly memorable.

Read the story of how one home buyer rated the many homes she visited during her home search.

Are the Three Ds Sabotaging Your Charlotte Home Sale?

Your Union County NC home can be in superb condition but it won’t be the shiniest apple until your price is compelling.  Note that I said compelling not competitive.  Competitive pricing is in line with the pricing of other similar properties.  It’s reasonable.  It also makes you a part of that sea of sameness.

A compelling price has a powerful and irresistible effect.  It commands attention and respect.  A compelling price grabs you and doesn’t let go just like the shiniest apple in the bowl.

Will your listing price be compelling or merely competitive?  Will buyers grab your apple from the fruit bowl?
