Back on the Blogging Wagon Again

I recently became engaged and have taken an unintended sabbatical from blogging. I had made good progress in getting into the routine of writing . . . but, wham-o . . . life throws me a curve (albeit, a good curve) and I fall off the proverbial wagon. So, the wedding dress is on order with my seamstress, the caterers are confirmed, tent and linens ordered and a band has been selected, and now I can get back to work!

A Well Priced Property = A Sold Property

There is always an increase in new listings come spring and this spring is no different. What is different this year, however, is that sellers are finally listening to realtors and are pricing their properties to sell. There are new properties on the market in all price ranges and there are some tremendous buys out there.

New to the market in Weston, Landgrove, Londonderry, Peru and Andover are 22 properties ranging in price from $140,000 for a lovely antique Cape on 2.9+/- acres in Andover (in need of restoration) to large four bedroom home on 5+/- acres listed for $499,00 in Londonderry. A summary of these 22 new listings is available at 22 New Properties for Sale - Click Here for Information.

Pricing a property fairly and realistically from the onset is critical. Buyers are savvier than ever and properties that are over-priced tend to linger on the market for months (and years). Eventually, even though the asking price has been reduced, there is a perceived stigma attached to the property and it becomes harder and harder to sell . . . even at the “right” price.
