The market place is in control because of the following:

• We live in a market place economy

• Our home prices are influenced by supply and demand within the market at any one time

• The ideal buyer who appreciates your property and is prepared to pay the ideal price has to be in the market at the time you are selling your home

• You have to appreciate the market at the time of selling your home and realise it keeps changing

Important that you do your own research and understand at what stage the market is at present not 12 months ago.

Don’t allow greed to take over and remember:

• Your home is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it at the time

• You can influence the Selling Price by preparing the property well for sale

• Make certain you determine the price on facts about the market, with knowledge of houses for sale and especially recent ones sold

• Don’t be enticed into selling your home by a good salesperson who makes outlandish promises

• The best chance of Selling your Home is when it first goes to market, don’t waste the opportunity

Remember that it is the good stories that get the mention and as with the lottery, there are only few winners.

If you set goals you are more likely to achieve success

• Your home is your greatest asset and therefore you must make each transaction a winner

• This will only occur with sound up to date research data that allows for realistic goals

• Those goals are only going to be achieved with effort on your part as well

• You now have to change your homely house to a potential dream home for someone else

• Don’t simply spend money without a real expectation of getting a better return
