Rowling could go from a single mom down on her luck to a millionaire in just a few years? She is the epitome of inspiration to get up and do what you want to do in life.

I ran across an interesting article over at Property Crossroads about when is the best time to put your home up for sale or make an offer.  Maricel found the idea from Zillow's blog and Leslie Pandey did a great job explaining why certain days are better to buy and sell a home than others.  Here is what she said.

Basically, Thursday mornings is the perfect time to put your home on the market.  Your home will be available for an open house that weekend and most homes get a better price when they are fresh on the market.  The other thing you might want to consider is that if you are wanting to make the best impression, chances are, your home will never be cleaner than the first 2 weeks that you have it listed.  Then life gets in the way and you tend to have to rush around to get everything clean again in order to show.  So maximizing your introduction to the market never hurts.

The other side of the coin is to figure out when the best time to give an offer on a home is usually on the first Tuesday morning of the month.  Her reasoning is that:

  • The owner just made ANOTHER mortgage payment and that usually motivates them to sell.
  • They have usually received all the offers from the weekend before and have obviously not taken them.  Your offer might just entice them to sell.

So don't leave selling your home to luck.  I want to show you how I keep up with the latest market trends and make them work for you.  That is, after all, the name of the game in real estate.  Helping you find and sell your real estate with as little discomfort on your part as I can manage. It's what I do and it makes both of us smile. 

Talk to you later,

Christine

I love eBay. You can find just about anything you want for sale there.  Even a town.  Bridgeville, California was the first town to be sold on eBay.  Can you imagine that?  An entire town.  There are 8 houses, a post office, and a cafe there that went with the 83 acres inside the town limits.  It hasn't had much luck, however.  I am not sure why it was sold the first or second time, but now it is on the eBay auction site again due to the second owner committing suicide.  I feel so bad that the owner, a 26 year old entertainment manager and college student felt he had to go that route for any reason.  It makes me sad.  but I love the unique idea of finding a town for sale on eBay.  How intriguing.

Here at Best Homes in Broward, we have talked before about how now is the time to buy investment property in Broward County. I wanted to get a little more specific with you as to why today is the day to get involved in investing in real estate. Let’s look at the CPI and how the federal reserve influences it. I know this might be a little more in depth but hang in there with me. You will understand it all when I am done.
