selling myhouse part 4

You could call Bill and ask why this happended. It seems the FHA angle would be more popular with declining home values and mortgage availability. Maybe the volume just makes it not worth it for the particular businesses Bill recommended? Maybe for your region but that seems doubtful? Another non- FHA appraisal may serve your purposes and that should be easy to obtained through Internet searches of appraisers or through Bill. Go for what you think you need though.

Not having an FHA appraisal does not mean you can’t get an FHA buyer. They may or may not come knocking, with or without it.The real point is to get it marketed at a price you and a buyer both can deal with, or do something else if the market obviously will not bring what you need.If you have it too high the appraisal will tell you that.If it is priced right maybe you need to try to some new things. Is there anything that you can do better to sell it short of lowering the price is still a valid question. Work on this while you are deciding on the appraisal. I know you are trying…just a reminder to brainstorm ideas.

You have it on the local listing board right? If you do and there is not traffic find out if you can add “owner will pay closing costs”. If you lower the price based on an appraisal,or other reason, don’t forget that the closing cost offer should affect the net and list accordingly. Sometimes we handle this by listing without seller paid closing costs in mind. Then with an offer, we negotiate seller concessions in with a counter offer that also raises the offered price.

Lots of houses sell because of closing cost or other type concessions but net out just as well or better for the seller. Sometimes the listings will rot without these concessions.Just to be obvious, rotting is not what you want in a falling market.That said the fact that spring is coming should be a bit of a relief…at least take it as food for thought that spring might help.

Best wishes.

Rustico,

Why the name change?

Also, I liked FLU spelled out, too.

Changing names on a blog is like wearing a bag over your head at a real-life party. People can’t recognize you. 😉
