If you have been thinking about putting your piece of Tahoe Keys real estate on the market this year, you are definitely in luck. This year’s market favors sellers with increasing home prices and the low inventory creating competition among buyers. While this is all great news, don’t think you can put a for-sale sign out front and that your Tahoe Keys property will sell itself. There are things you can do to not only move the property quickly but make the most bang for your buck with these tips here.

• First and foremost, price your home for sale in Tahoe Keys correctly from the start. After all, the first two weeks are the most crucial and you do not want your home viewed as “stale” if it has been sitting too long. According to Realtor.com, our neighbors in Stockton and Las Vegas are expected to see a 10% increase this year. Lake Tahoe could not be as high so make sure your qualified Tahoe Keys realtor knows the comps so your Tahoe Keys home for sale is not above market price. Remember, the goal is to sell your property for the highest price and the shortest amount of time.
• In order to achieve this, list your Tahoe Keys real estate during peak season. This is generally considered spring and summer. Sellers listing during this time can expect more buyers, and therefor biddings wars which usually end with an “over asking offer” and a quicker closing.
• Depending how many comparable properties there are, you could sweeten the pot by offering incentives to potential buyers. If you can make the process easier on the buyer, they could be more willing to offer full asking price. Since 2016 is expected to have a lot of first time buyers who are depending on loans to make their purchase, this could once again end with a quick sale and for more money. Still not sure you need to offer incentives to close the deal? 2015 saw the most U.S. home sales in almost a decade. 37% of those sellers attracted their buyers with incentives so this is definitely something to discuss with your Tahoe Keys Realtor.

4.) Use a reputable Tahoe Keys Realtor. I have addressed this in several of my blogs, but what kind of Realtor you have can make or break a deal, literally. Picking someone who has their finger on the pulse of the Tahoe Keys real estate market will ensure you are finding the best Tahoe Keys property for sale all while making an informed decision before everything is finalized
