I am trying to sell my home and there is no action... I have it listed with an agent, but nobody has seen my house. What should I do?

The first thing you should do is to talk to your agent and make sure he/she understands your concerns. He/she may also give you different ideas of what to do next. He/she may also be able to explain to you what's happening with the market. Some suggestions we give to our owners are as follow:

- give incentives to the buyer's agent

- give incentives to the buyer, such as you'll buy down their interest .5 points, or you'll give them $2000 for the carpet that needs to be replaced in the 2nd bedroom, or give them a gift card to a furniture store to help them to move in

- make sure your house is clean, organized, and uncluttered,

- have a couple of open houses and promote them to see if you have people coming in (if you see that no one comes, don't repeat)

These are just a few... What other ideas do you have? Help us out... :)

How good you think the incentives to the buyer work? Don't you think that it will diminish the sales price offered by them?

What's the price range you see selling at this time?

We believe that in today's market, incentives work quite well as buyers like to get extra things for what they purchase. If you are concenrned that they will want both, then you can offer them as an incentive for a full-price offer instead of an addition on top of their low offer. Incentives are being used by many builders today to attract buyers and remember... if it works for them, why wouldn't work for you? You also have to think that they are lowering their prices, but once you put an offer with them, you get the incentives, but the price is not lowered from the final price... They also have a bottom line... It all goes to how motivated both you and the buyer are. :)

Price ranges are changing from one area to another... we have seen drops of $50-$60K in some areas, while others are around $20-$30K... but every area in Brevard County is down from last year's prices. What we see in our office as what the buyers are buying are the houses in the low $200s. And, it does seem that the market is becoming a little more active than a few months ago... as we keep on repeating to everyone, today's a great time to buy. What do you see happening?
