Watch that price...199,900 may not be such a good thing. Wilmington, NC
There are several things to think about when pricing your home. We all know the most important like current market activity, but what about search ability? Typically, searches auto-populate the price ranges we can choose from. Meaning we, agents and buyers, search in increments of 25-50,000. Usually when someone's price range is 300-350,000 we all search up to say 360,000. I don’t think anyone ever thinks to search down by 5,000 or 10,000. So if you list you home at 299,000 you are potentially cutting out A LOT of buyers that are search at 300,000 and above. Don't miss out on potential buyers and make sure your price is optimizing the number of searchers out there!

Who brought the buyer, who brought the offer? Real Estate in Wilmington, NC
This is my response to a FSBO seller that was wondering about the buyer's agent that brought them an acceptable offer on their 400,000 home which is now under contract! Pay that agent for doing their job and be happy and thankful you are selling your home!!!

To buy or not to buy
You make money in real estate by doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing. In 2005 what was everyone doing? They were buying. Who made money? The sellers. NOW, what is everyone doing? Selling. So what should we be doing? Buying.
You can’t make money by following the heard. If you are going along with everyone else you are missing the opportunities right in front of you. The ones that sold and got out of the market when it was strong made money. Those that waited and waited for just a little more or just a little longer for prices to go up missed out on the peak selling time and ended up with their homes sitting on the market and taking longer to sell and ultimately selling for less money.
No one rings the bell at the bottom of the real estate market. At the first signs of improvement great opportunities become less and less available. Don’t let your opportunity slip way from you.
In the Wilmington, NC area the listing inventory of new homes coming on the market each month is decreasing from where it was. This is a sign of a shifting market. The less homes that are available means less for buyer to choose from and ultimately less opportunity.
If you keep waiting and waiting because of “fear” you will end up standing at the back of the line wishing you were a seller, not a buyer. Why not buy now and be ahead of the crowd?
