Studies now
show that the home buyer is looking on the Internet before actually selecting what homes they
will view in an outing. "in 1995 only 2% of home buyers did research on the Internet prior to contacting a Realtor. In 2007, that number jumped to 84%". Buyers today are using pictures posted on the Internet to compile their list of must see properties eliminating properties they don't want to see. On each outing buyers are choosing
approximately 7-10 homes to tour and we know that most buyers take between 3-6 minutes to tour each home, you don't have a minute to waste. On average this is between 21-30 homes
per weekend. 58% of buyers made a decision to buy after seeing 10 properties -Maritz Research Poll and 63% of buyers will pay more for a home that is move in ready.
Are pictures of your property on the Internet, more importantly what do they look like and how many are there? What are
you doing to draw the buyer in? How does your property compare to the competition? After the week-end is over what makes your property memorable? Effective staging keeps your house on the "must see" list. |
