There are signs to sellers that they, right now, are selling in a buyers’ market. That means that buyers are being more selective in the homes that they purchase. They aren’t placing a bid on the first home that they see for fear that someone else will jump first. They aren’t willing to pay any price to get the home that they desire.
Instead, they are looking at the smaller details. They notice that one little thing that might go wrong.
What can you do to give them - and yourself - peace of mind? You can offer a Home Warranty.
A home warranty can help your home to sell faster and at a higher price; a home warranty can also help to keep closings on track.

How to sell your home when prices start to level off
Reports abound that the real estate market is heading for a slowdown. Depending upon the recent runup in your area, the landing could be hard or soft. Here are some strategies for selling in a level or declining market:
Find a good discount broker - Internet companies now provide services for home sellers that weren’t available just a few years ago. Flat fee MLS listing is now a good option that allows you to keep more of your home equity. Instead of paying a listing commission for inclusion of your property in the Realtor MLS and on Realtor.com, you can pay a flat fee of somewhere between $400 and $500 and get the same exposure as Realtor listed properties.
Get proper pricing assistance - correctly valuing your property is ALWAYS priority #1 when selling your home. Lots of online services provide access to property sales data. You can also get this information yourself with a trip to the local property assessor’s office. If you have a unique or unusual property or have made major upgrades, your best route is a professional appraisal. Although this is a bit more expensive than other alternatives, it truly provides the most accurate valuation. 2 truisms apply: 1) You get what you pay for 2) appraisal isn’t an exact science
