Freaking out is never the answer. I strategic plan is the answer. Selling and buying a home can be very stressful in any market. If your home is listed with a real estate agent, there are a few questions you should be asking your agent. 1) what is the buyer demand in your area at the present time? 2) Is your house priced competitively at this time in todays current market conditions, including current inventory supply? Agents call this the absorption rate. 3) what can your agent recommend to make your house stand out in the market? It is not always price. 4) Ask what is the agent doing to market your house? How is it being exposed to the market? All of these are great questions. The more you communicate your concerns with your agent the less stress you will feel.
