How are you going to make your house stand out in this buyer's market?

Hope you're enjoying this S-L-O-W summer real estate market. It feels like the whole market is overpriced right now, and when something IS priced right & shows well, it really stands out ( like 330 Forest in South Orange & 7 Woodhill in Maplewood) , so if you're selling, its wise to NOT base your price on homes that have already sold like everyone else is doing. Interest rates & supply of homes are up, so how are you going to make YOUR house stand out in this market? Pricing, staging , marketing & followup systems are all key in a market where things don't happen instantly.

Fortunately, I've been lucky though. I closed a record breaking $7,480,000 in real estate the past 2 weeks!

7 Crescent Place , Short Hills.. (Buyer-side) relocation buyer from Michigan
27 Barnsdale, Short Hills .... (Buyer-side) local buyer purchasing dream home
90 Greenwood , Millburn... (Buyer-side) local buyer
92 Myrtle Ave, Millburn.... ( Seller & Buyer sides) .. relocation buyer from Texas
11 Waddington Ave, West Orange.. (Seller side).. Yes, I sold it above asking price in this slow market!

That's it for now! Until next time....
