Selling Your Home in Santa Cruz or Monterey County
Gregg Camp, Santa Cruz Realtor and California real estate broker
What is the difference between a buyers' market and a sellers' market?
A sellers' market refers to a time when the number of qualified home buyers exceeds the number of houses on the market. During this time, sellers have the upper hand, and are able to charge more for their properties and have less trouble enticing buyers. The housing boom of 2005 is an example of a strong sellers' market. Buyers across the nation were eager to buy, regardless of the skyrocketing housing prices.
A buyers' market is the reverse, where there is more available inventory than potential buyers. Trying to sell your home in a buyers' market can present a bit of a challenge because there is so much competition trying to attract buyers. In order to be successful at selling your home in this kind of climate, you need to make sure that your home is in top showing condition, and have a professional REALTOR® , such as my self Gregg Camp by your side.

Why should I hire a REALTOR®?
REALTORS® have knowledge, experience, and resources that the average homeowner simply does not have.As a practicing real estate broker working for 20+ years, I have the knowledge to negotiate to get you get the highest possible price. I have the the know-how to navigate complicated contracts, develope effective strategies for marketing a home or commercial property, and contacts in the industry that can help sell your home faster. Do you have tax consequences and need to do a 1031 Tax deferred exchange? Let's discuss the steps we need to do.
In addition, as an experienced REALTOR® I walk into your home with objective eyes, and am able to see the home from the buyer's perspective. I can make suggestions for repairs and help you prioritize projects so that you get the biggest return on your investment. Without professional help, you have to charter these waters on your own, or with an inexperienced agent frient, which can become a very costly and time consuming mistake.
Setting the Price
While making repairs and getting your home showroom ready can add value to your property and make it more attractive to buyers, the single most important part of selling your home is choosing the right price.We can look at the market and I can help you objectively see through the eyes of a buyer where the price most likely needs to be to get the highest possible price.
Overpricing a property is the most counterproductive thing you can do. If a buyer drives past your home and thinks that the listing price is too high, they won't even walk in the front door. They will keep driving until they find something that is priced much more appropriately. My job is to get the most qualified buyers into you home to generate the best activity to generate a sale. The tactics I use vary depending on the market we are in.
You need to be realistic and unemotional when setting the price and this is where aan experienced Santa Cruz REALTOR® can make things a lot easier for you. As a Santa Cruz Realtor®, I will look at comparable properties on the market, examine the amount that houses are actually selling for, and take into account the condition and location of your home. An agent will be able to make an unbiased assessment of your home's worth, considering the current market conditions. Remember, the market determines how much people are willing to pay for a home, so keep this in mind when thinking about pricing. Let me help guide you in getting the highest possible price in any market.
