While houses are certainly selling, and some are selling quickly, there are many homes that are languishing on the market because of a collective increase in hopeful sellers, and decrease in able buyers over the past two years.



For the owners of those homes, the selling process can be an emotional roller coaster of an experience.  I have witnessed that first hand several times lately in conversations with some of my seller clients, and in watching the Facebook status of some of my Facebook friends who are selling their homes right now.

What a high when someone actually wants to come see your house --- what an anxious feeling when you're waiting to hear how they liked your home --- and what a low when you discover they may not be making an offer on your home.

My advice for sellers in today's market:

1. Familiarize yourself with market conditions and price/market your home accordingly.
2. Seek to understand how supply/demand in your price range may affect the timing of your sale.
3. Be reasonably optimistic as you see buyer activity --- do everything possible to make a sale possible, but don't expect that every buyer that sees your home will want to buy it.

Does anyone else have advice based on their current experience selling their home?
