Selling Your Property on the Outer Banks

The team at Colony Realty enjoys helping you prepare, market, and sell your home on the Outer Banks. Selling your home involves much more than just placing a "For Sale" sign in your yard and going to the closing. We do our best every day to help our customers succeed.

Here's how we will assist you in selling your home:

Review the selling process with you, without the technical jargon.
Perform a comparative market analysis.
Determine the list and target prices.
Market your property.
Keep communication with you open.
Present the purchase agreement.

What price should you ask for your property?

We know that you want to get the highest price possible. That's why we research the current market to see what the highest reasonable price is. Here are a few hints on setting the right price:

Often, your home's value depends on recent selling prices of comparable homes in your area. After reviewing the selling prices for such homes, the price is adjusted according to current market trends.
Buyers look in the price range determined by their monthly ability and down payment.
Buyers are often very knowledgeable in their price range and purchase by comparison. Unreasonable asking prices are an immediate turn-off.
Inviting a potential buyer to make an offer shows that you are willing to bargain. But if your asking price is outrageous, the buyer's offer will most likely also be unreasonable.
It's necessary to offer competitive pricing, terms, and conditions in your area. This will help you sell faster and get the full market value.

4 Factors That Decide Home Sales

Price - If your home is priced too high, you must be willing to wait much longer for your home to sell. Either it will take that much longer to find someone to pay more than the home is worth, or the market will eventually catch up to the "asking price" of the home through inflation.

Financing - You may not realize it, but the financing of your buyer can have a tremendous impact on the success of selling your home. Try to offer very attractive financing options. This could open the door for many buyers that otherwise wouldn't even consider your home.

Time - If time is important then you must be willing to lower the price.
