Whether you are thinking of selling your home next month or next year, if you want to get the best price for your home with the least amount of stress, it’s going to take some time and planning. Here are the six steps to keep in mind when selling a house in Cincinnati…

Step 1: Hire a real estate professional from The Lowry Team. Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team, will discuss your ideal time frame for selling your home, pricing strategies, tips to prepare for the market, as well as the net profit needed from the sale. Hiring an experienced real estate agent will help protect you and your best interests, and your potential equity in the sale of your home.

Step 2: Price it right. Eric Lowry will share your home’s cur rent market value with you. A Comparable Sales Analysis Comparable (CMA) will be run on your home, which takes into account recent sales of similar homes in the same market area. This detailed CMA, in addition to the current trends in the real estate market and years of experience, will help Eric determine the right listing price for your home.

Step 3: Stage the home to sell. Homes that are staged sell faster and for money than homes that are not. Keep in mind there is only one chance to make a good first impression on potential buyers. The Lowry Team can advise you on what improvements should or should not be made prior to listing your home. We can also refer you to a professional home staging company.

Step 4: Negotiate an offer. Your Realtor will help you negotiate the best sale price and terms for your home. This includes items such as price, occupancy, inspections, etc. Eric Lowry has over 16 years experience negotiating home sales in the Cincinnati area, and his listings sell for around 1% more than the market average – that could mean thousands of dollars more in your pocket. Make sure you hire an expert negotiator to represent you.

Step 5: Plan your move. The Lowry Team has an preferred vendor list to help you plan your move, and can refer you to an excellent moving company.

Step 6: Meet at the closing table. The sellers, buyers and their agents will meet with the title company representative to sign all of the papers and close on the house. Here you will receive the proceeds from the sale of your house, and can celebrate!

5 Hidden Reasons Your House Isn’t Selling (Or Didn’t Sell)

January 27, 2016 by Eric Lowry

5 Reasons Your House Isn’t Selling (Or Didn’t Sell)

Is your home listed for sale, but not getting any offers? Your problem could be any of these reasons your house isn’t selling.

It’s Overpriced – In the current market, where inventory is so low and buyer demand is high, homes are selling very quickly. If your home isn’t selling you might want to reconsider your asking price. The number one reasons homes don’t sell is because they are overpriced.

It’s Outdated – If your home is terribly outdated, that can be a major turn off to home buyers. For the most part, buyers want a home that is move-in ready. If all they notice are your kitchen and bathrooms from the 80’s and your old carpet, they’re not going to be impressed.

Bad Decor – Buyers want to see your home as a blank canvas. They don’t want to see all your personal knick knacks and photos all over the place, and they don’t want your blue or red walls. Depersonalize and declutter, and then neutralize all the paint colors in your home. If buyers can’t see themselves in your home, they will turn right around and leave.

Curb Appeal – You only get one chance to make a first impression so work on that curb appeal! Make sure your bushes are trimmed, your grass is cut and edged, your exterior paint is in good condition, etc.

You’re Not Using a Realtor – Data from a recent NAR study shows that less than 10% of For Sale By Owner’s (FSBO’s) actually sell. Approximately 90% of buyers are using a Realtor to find a home, and even more are finding that home on the internet. However, when you FSBO your home, your home listing does not come up in those buyers’ MLS searches. You are limiting your potential exposure to a very, very small percentage of buyers.

January 27, 2016 by Eric Lowry

Year Ends With Low Inventory for Liberty Township

Liberty Township Real Estate Market ended in a strong sellers’ market with a 3.2 month inventory of homes for sale. A 6 month inventory level is considered a balanced market. Anything under 6 months worth of inventory is considered to be an undersupply, favoring home sellers as opposed to favoring home buyers.

If inventory doesn’t increase soon, the market may stall. Thinking of selling your Liberty Township home? This significant lack of inventory makes right now a fantastic time to get your home listed for sale.

The average sale price of homes in Liberty Township is $294,044, which is up 3.06% from the same time last year. Home prices are on a steady rise; and are expected to continue to increase. Average days on market in Liberty Township is 98 days, compared to 88 last winter. The average list to sale price ratio for Liberty Township Real Estate is up just slightly at 97.95% compared to last year’s 97.48%.
