The old adage of Location, Location, Location still holds true but PRICE is KING!!!!! Price can overcome location, location can not overcome price. Price can overcome condition, condition can not overcome price. Pricing your home to sell is the most important issue with selling a home in a buyer's market. Supply vs Demand says that as inventory grows, prices must fall. Buyers have more choices and the choices that they will make will depend on the price. Buyers will rarely offer full asking price on an "overpriced" home. Properly priced homes will often recieve multiple offers.
To price a home properly, sellers need to see recent sales similar to their home and sellers need to know what the competition looks like. A sellable home needs to be priced in the bottom 1/3 of the competition, preferably the lowest price. To enhance the sellability, the home needs to be in the top 1/3 in ..<span style="font-size:90%;margin-left:5px;color:#0000FF;vertical-align:baseline;"><font size="-3" color="gray">(</font><a style="text-decoration:none;" href="http://panamacityhomesource.com/blog_post.asp?post=10289">read more</a><font size="-3" color="gray">)</font></span><img src ="http://panamacityhomesource.com/blog/aggbug/10289.aspx" width = "1" height = "1" /></div>http://panamacityhomesource.com/blog_post.asp?post=10289#comment0http://panamacityhomesource.com/blog/commentRss/10289.aspxhttp://panamacityhomesource.com/blog/services/trackbacks/10289.aspxCherokee Heights Neighborhood Cookout and Open Houseshttp://panamacityhomesource.com/blog_post.asp?post=96282008-04-10T13:24:00Z2008-04-10T18:24:00-05:002008-04-10T13:24:00Z<div style="font-family:arial, geneva, lucida, sans-serif;">Cherokee Heights Cookout, Open Houses, Yard Sales, and just plain FUN!!!

I keep hearing all of this talk about great real estate deals through short sales. WHAT IS A SHORT SALE AND HOW DO I GET ONE?
www.shortsalesinpanamacity.com
Short Sale: (Real Estate) The sale of a property for less than what is owed on the property.
In an approved short sale, the lender agrees to accept less than is owed for the property, and the homeowner is relieved of the debt. A lender may be willing to do this because it spares a lot of hassle and expense involved in executing a foreclosure. And typically, a short sale does far less damage to the homeowner’s credit than a foreclosure does.
What does this mean for me when I buy a short sale?
Buying a short sale typically takes longer than a normal transaction but it can be very rewarding and worth the wait. A short sale takes longer due to the approval needed from the bank who holds the note on the mortgage. We have seen homes sold for as low as 60 cents on the ..<span style="font-size:90%;margin-left:5px;color:#0000FF;vertical-align:baseline;"><font size="-3" color="gray">(</font><a style="text-decoration:none;" href="http://panamacityhomesource.com/blog_post.asp?post=8881">read more</a><font size="-3" color="gray">)</font></span><img src ="http://panamacityhomesource.com/blog/aggbug/8881.aspx" width = "1" height = "1" /></div>http://panamacityhomesource.com/blog_post.asp?post=8881#comment2http://panamacityhomesource.com/blog/commentRss/8881.aspxhttp://panamacityhomesource.com/blog/services/trackbacks/8881.aspxReal Estate is actually your home, not an ivestment.http://panamacityhomesource.com/blog_post.asp?post=88802008-03-13T15:06:00Z2008-03-13T20:06:00-05:002008-03-13T15:06:00Z<div style="font-family:arial, geneva, lucida, sans-serif;">RIGHT NOW is really a great time to buy real estate in Panama City, Panama City Beach and Lynn Haven, FL.

Home prices are low, interest rates are low and sellers are offering incentives to buyers. Contrary to what the media trys to portray, those thinking of buying homes in Panama City have their "pick of the litter" with high inventories of new and pre-owned homes.

Buying a home is often called the largest investment that anyone will ever make. Actually it is NOT an investment until you sell because everyone NEEDS a place to live. Their home is their castle, not an investment. Your home is where you raise your family, lay your head down to sleep and where you live out your life's dreams.
