Long Beach Island Real Estate Flood Insurance
Every transaction and every house on Long Beach Island is unique. There are going to be specific tips and strategies for each home. For example, if I am marketing a vacant lot or a tear down, I will want to focus on the building potential and include information about construction costs, house plans, etc. This would not be needed for a turn-key home where it is better to focus on the upgrades in the home. That said, there are some simple universal steps that should be employed by all sellers on Long Beach Island.
Have a plan in place: It is important to understand that there are different seasons to the real estate market on Long Beach Island. With the entire LBI economy centering around summer, there are some times of year where listing a house will garner more exposure and potentially spend less time on the market. Knowing these seasons and when is and when is not a good time to be in the market can be key.
Price it right: Above all else, understanding the market and the price point for your house is the number one step a seller should take on Long Beach Island. There is too much information available for a buyer to be "fooled" into buying an overpriced home. You will net more money by pricing it right.
Be proactive: As I mentioned above, if I am marketing a tear down I will include building information in the listing. This is the kind of proactive step I am referring to. By answering a buyer's question BEFORE they ask, the listing will be more appealing.
Buying and Selling in the Long Beach Island Real Estate Market
As I mentioned , selling a home is a major financial undertaking on Long Beach Island and one that should not be taken lightly. It is advisable you interview several agents before deciding on who will list your house. Everyone will offer something different and what works for one seller may not work for another. As a rule though, an agent should be able to answer all of your questions on the spot about LBI real estate market trends, similar home prices, and general knowledge of your house style. This is especailly true of price. A CMA should be used to back up an agent's price opinion while the agent should be able to give you a price on the spot. In addition, the listing agent should have a thorough marketing plan that includes an enormous online presence as this is where most buyers will begin their search. If you have any questions about selling your home on Long Beach Island New Jersey or about buying, selling or investing in the LBI real estate market please do not hesitate to contact me.
