In recent months, many potential buyers held back, concerned about rumors of lackluster real estate sales. September has really brought activity back to the market, sometimes with multiple offers. Timing & pricing are the two key factors sellers must focus on in order to get their homes sold. We explain to sellers that you have to sell the house 3 times; 1st to the brokerage community, 2nd to the buyers and 3rd to the appraisers. If we price the home correctly and get the property on the market at the right time, then we see activity within the first 3-5 weeks. Priced incorrectly, or not marketed properly, homes in Winchester will see little action.

Take advantage of this new season to get organized and clutter free! Start by reducing the amount of paper that enters your home and office. Paper clutter comes in many forms such as mail, newspapers, magazines and flyers.<br /> Mail is probably the biggest contributor to paper clutter,but you can tackle it by sorting through it everyday. The task does not need to be daunting, simply sort the bills from the junk and place any catalogs or magazines in a container. Throw away the junk mail, making sure to shred or tear thoroughly any credit card applications or other items that may put your identity in danger. Then open the bills and file them in a centralized location such as your office in the ‘to do’ file, so you will know to pay them. It only takes a few short minutes a day and if done daily you will not have to deal with a huge stack of mail to sort after a ..<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://northofbostonrealestate.com/blog_post.asp?post=4932">read more</a><font size="-3" color="gray">)</font></span></div> </article> </main></body></html>
