10 Steps to Sell More Quickly

Realty Times recently published an article "10 Steps to Sell More Quickly in a Stalled Market." We are fortunate in Rochester that our local housing market has held fairly steady over the years. We have not experienced the dramatic upswing, nor are we now "crashing" like other areas of the country.

Sales prices are holding steady -- median price is down from $118,500 (2007) to $118,000 (2008) and average is only down 1.3% from $142,627 to $140,796. So if you're thinking of selling but are delaying because you're concerned that you won't get what your home is worth, values are holding in the Rochester market.

Using a Nothnagle agent who can get your property exposed to the widest pool of prospective buyers, combined with some of the tips from the Realty Times article and stable home values in our region, and sellers should be successful even in today's market.
