It’s Time to List Your Heritage Lake Home, This is How We’ll Set the List Price.

Before we set the sales price of your Heritage Lake house, I’ll run a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that will show the listing price of similar houses at Heritage Lake IN as well as the prices at which the houses actually sold. Additionally, the analysis will give us information about houses currently on the market and about houses that were on the market but never sold.  I will also be able to show you the number of Heritage Lake homes I have sold over the past year verses the number of homes sold by other agents.  It is best to work with a real estate agent who understands how to market the niche market of Heritage Lake.

Next, I’ll ask you about your goals in selling the house. Everyone who sells a house has different goals that need to be factored in when calculating the selling price.

  • Is your goal to get the maximum sales price for your house?
    • If so, are you willing to have your house on the market for many months?
  • Is your goal to sell your house quickly?
    • If so, are you willing to sacrifice some of your potential profits to sell more quickly?
  • Would you like to establish a balance between selling your house quickly and selling at the top end of market value?

Market conditions will play a role in setting the sales price of your house.  I’ll factor in how quickly houses are selliing in our area, interest rates, activity the market is currently experiencing, and finally whether it is a buyer’s or seller’s market.

I’ll then recommend a price at which to list your Heritage Lake house to meet your goals in the local market.  I’ll share my marketing plan and explain how I have been able to find more Heritage Lake buyers than any other realtor over the past several years.  Knowing I have lived at Heritage Lake since 1987 and  have done over 95% of my business at the lake with my neighbors means you can be comfortable with chosing Brouhard Realtors to market your Heritage Lake property.

Whether you own a lakehome, undeveloped lakefront property or an offshore home at Heritage Lake Indiana, you can be certain the team at Brouhard Realtors Heritage Lake have kept a close analysis of both the waterfront property at Heritage Lake and the offshore property and lots that have been listed and sold.  Also, Darrel Brouhard has both G.R.I., C.R.S. designations. There are over one million REALTORS® in business today. So if you want to find that one-in-a-million REALTOR®, start with the over 37,000 who hold the Certified Residential Specialist Designation.
