Hickory NC Real Estate Blog

I know this may seem like too simple of an idea but My vision is that people only place their homes up for sale that truly need to sell. This is not a time to "test the market" or say "well if I sell my home for this then I will then be able to build my dream house". I feel that if this was done then the only homes that buyers will have to look at are the ones that are priced to sell and have motivated buyers. But with many areas sitting with a 1 year supply of homes or more in their inventories I think we are doing a disservice to our clients if we take a listing that should not be on the market. Maybe we should send them to Zillow.com and have them post a "make me move" listing. In my market there are plenty of buyers for homes out there but there is such a glut of supply that our buyers have too many choices and end up suffering from analysis paralysis. This is just my opinion and I am sure that it is too simplistic but it would be a quick fix to a problem that I know exists in many markets.
