These days, homebuyers are tempted to think that open houses are no longer a necessary part of the home selling process. In today's world of 3-D video tours and listings that include every type of information you could possibly want on a home, you might feel like actually seeing the place doesn't really matter that much to potential buyers. This, however, could not be further from the truth. Homes are the biggest purchase that most people make in their entire life. When choosing the place you're going to make your home with your spouse or family, buying sight-unseen happens extremely rarely. Most people want to walk through Indianapolis homes for sale and get a sense of the character of the space as well as how it will feel once they are living in it. Open houses are an excellent opportunity to let potential buyers see the aspects of your home that can't be put into words. You should plan to have as many open houses as it takes to find the right buyer who will pay as much or maybe even more than you're asking for.
Due to the fact that open houses are so important to the financial success of your home sale, you want to find a realtor who can really help you make the most of each of your open house opportunities. Make sure that your realtor has great experience talking to potential buyers and showing them the aspects of your home that really make it stand out. It's also important to make sure that your realtor is advertising your open house on all the appropriate websites. Most people begin their housing search online, so it's essential that accurate and up-to-date information about your home sale is available wherever potential Indianapolis real estate searchers are looking.
During your open house, you'll want to make sure that any pets are out of the home, that the house is tidy, warm, and inviting. You'll also want to make sure your neighbors are aware of your impending home sale. Particularly if you have neighbors who are frequently working in their yards or coming and going from their homes, it's a good idea to talk to these neighbors and let them know that you're selling your house so that if any potential buyers asked them questions about the home or the neighborhood, your neighbors will be ready to respond positively.
If you find yourself in a situation where a move might be a good thing for your family, you're probably wondering whether now is the right time to sell your home. It may be that you have a new job that you'd like to move closer to, or you've had another child and your current home simply isn't big enough. Whatever your reason for moving, you can rest assured that the current Indianapolis real estate market is on the mend and now is actually a great time to consider selling your home. Every indicator is pointing toward growth and prosperity in the Indianapolis housing market. According to real estate website Trulia.com, the median sales price of Indianapolis homes between April 13 and June 13 was $124,864. That price point represents a 37.6% increase compared to the previous quarter and a 64.3% increase compared to the previous year. Imagine if your stocks went up that much in a single year! It seems likely that home prices will continue to go up over the next few years, but you never quite know what's going to happen with the housing market, so if you're thinking about selling now, you can feel confident that you're making a wise decision.
Across the nation, people are receiving multiple offers on homes and are frequently selling for their asking price or even a little bit more. With the right realtor on your team, you can assess the current value of your home and have a good chance of selling for that value within a matter of months or even weeks. Some people are even selling their home the same day that it goes on the market. If you're in a rush to sell, speak with an experienced agent at RE/MAX Advanced Realty to determine the best way to go about listing your home so that it will sell quickly but also at a fair price. Some of the most popular neighborhoods in Indianapolis right now are Irvington, Pine Ridge Estates, Fountain Square, Old Northside, Devington, and Fletcher Place. If you live in one of these areas, your house could sell quite fast. However, no matter where you live in Indianapolis, now is a great time to consider putting your house up for sale if you’re ready to move on. To discuss the possibility of listing your house on the market, take the time to call 317.298.0961 so you have the chance to speak with an experienced real estate agent from the RE/MAX Advanced Realty team. The team is always willing to provide sellers with information about current market conditions in the state of Indiana and to address any questions sellers may have before listing their properties.
