Are you a Portsmouth NH homeowner thinking about selling in today's market?



Make no mistake about it, we're in a challenging market, and it takes far more effort today to get a home or condo sold.  It's tough in this market - make sure you're ready!

 

 

We live in the age of the Internet, and proof of that is in the fact that roughly 85% of buyers today begin their search on-line.  EIGHTY-FIVE percent - that's a HUGE change from just a few short years ago.  That fact alone demands a completely different method for sellers and their agents.

If you're already on the market for sale, no doubt you're already experiencing some of the challenges today, including finding the magic price to cause your house to actually sell.  The biggest mistake sellers are making in this market is pricing their homes or condos too high for today's environment.  If you've already adjusted your price, you know the frustrations of dealing with pricing issues.

Portsmouth New Hampshire homeowners work hard to get their homes ready for showings, and they know what we've been dealing with this winter for weather, and yes, it's snowing yet AGAIN here today!

If you have your home or condo on the market for sale, you're faced with the challenges of dealing with snow, ice and slushy messes while trying to keep your floors clean for showings.  It's certainly not easy, that's for sure!

 

Here are some quick and easy tips to help keep the messes outside and not inside on your floors:

• Keep walkways, steps, patios, decks and driveways clear of snow and ice - this takes some work, but it does 2 major things for you, 1) it helps to keep the winter messiness out of your house because there's nothing to track in, and 2) it helps to decrease your liability because there will be fewer slips and falls if driveways and walkways are kept clear.
