Because of the large inventory ( over 8,000 ) in the valley and (187 in Sun City Palm Desert) ,because the buyers seem to be on the sidelines and because the builders are giving such great incentives, sellers must be really ready to sell.
Although all of us would like to get the most for our homes, realistically if a seller really wants to sell in this market, he will probably not get his wanted price.
Besides price, sellers should be aware that buyers want everything--granite counters, wood shutters, custom paint and a home in pristine condition. A seller should go out to the curb and really look at his property from the entrance to the rear yard. I
If the home has tired landscaping it will be an immediate turnoff. If the front door is dirty, again it is an immediate turnoff. Windows should be washed, tile floors and carpets should be professionally cleaned and all clutter should be eliminated. Remove family photos from furniture and walls; plant lots of colorful flowers in pots or in the ground; paint desert colors( buyers are tired of white). In essence, make your home look like a model home.
Buyers are in the driver's seat--so sellers need to pay attention to details.
