When you put your Placer, Sacramento or El Dorado County real estate on the market, the goal is to get as much activity as you can so that you have multiple offers to choose from – but this certainly isn't as easy as you may think.
"Even if your town is buzzing with real estate activity and sales are picking up, it doesn't mean that you're guaranteed multiple offers, or even one offer for that matter," reports real estate research firm Zillow. "For a seller to get lots of activity on their listing, there are three must-haves: location, price and presentation."
- Location - According to the source, one of the key attributes that popular listings have in common is that they're in a great location. In many cases, prospective buyers consider this before anything else. Fortunately, the Greater Sacramento area is considered a good place to settle down, offering a more affordable and less congested alternative to San Francisco. Nevertheless, your Sacramento real estate agent will be able to help you determine just how desirable your location is to potential buyers.
- Presentation – For a house to receive multiple offers, it absolutely must show well. Home buyers need to be able to make an emotional connection with the property in addition to finding that it has most of the features they want.
- Price – As the news outlet notes, "pricing isn't an exact science," so assigning the right value to your house can be challenging. That being said, a Sacramento real estate agent can help you come up with a price tag that is mutually satisfying to both you and the prospective buyers viewing your home.
