Why Your Montgomery AL Home Isn’t Selling -- And What To Do About It

Friday, February 1, 2013
by The Hat Team

Yes, you realize that the economy is tough, and, yes, you’re well aware that it is a buyers’ market in the real estate world.  But your Montgomery AL home has been for sale for a long time now, and similar houses in the area have been selling.  You’re asking what you consider a fair price for the property, and you allow your Realtor to have periodic open house showings, so what is going on?

soldGenerally the problem lies in one of four areas:  price, condition, availability, and location.

  • Price:  In today’s economy everyone is looking for a bargain. With access to so much information on the internet, buyers cannot be fooled because it is very easy for them to compare prices. Many people won’t even bother looking at a house if they believe it is overpriced. Therefore, you should make sure your Montgomery AL home is not priced higher than similar homes on the market. However, if you are looking to sell your home quickly, you should set the price even lower than the competition.  For more help with pricing, visit RIS Media and Realtor.com
     
  • Condition:  The condition of your home inside and out is critically important to making a sale. If your home doesn’t show well, a potential buyer is going to head elsewhere. Because most buyers are looking for a house they can move into without a ton of small repairs and cleanup, you should make any interior or exterior repairs on your Montgomery AL home that may be noticeable. While some buyers may be willing to negotiate on the price when there are repairs that need to be done, there are many who are looking for a home with a “move in worry free” condition. Clean and de-clutter thoroughly, and eliminate all odors  For staging suggestions, go to About.Com

     
  • Availability:   Getting as many people as possible to view your home is important. Too much restriction on viewing times will naturally lessen the chance of selling the house quickly. Also, restrictions on viewing times may make a buyer may feel that the seller is not flexible and would not be willing to negotiate on anything else.

     
  • Location:  When it comes to buying a house location is everything. No matter how beautiful a home is, if it is in a bad location, it will be hard to sell.  To compensate for a bad location, you may reduce the price of your Montgomery AL home substantially if it needs to be sold quickly. Click here for possible solutions to a location concern.

Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Trends for 2012

Thursday, January 24, 2013
by The Hat Team

On January 1 both the Senate and House passed H.R. 8 legislation to avert the “fiscal cliff” and the bill was signed into law by President Barack Obama the next day.

Below is a summary of real estate related provisions in the bill:

  • Mortgage Cancellation Relief is extended for one year to Jan. 1, 2014.
  • Deduction for Mortgage Insurance Premiums for filers making below $110,000 is extended through 2013 and made retroactive to cover 2012.
  • 15-year straight-line cost recovery for qualified leasehold improvements on commercial properties is extended through 2013 and made retroactive to cover 2012.
  • 10 percent tax credit (up to $500) for homeowners for energy improvements to existing homes is extended through 2013 and made retroactive to cover 2012.
  • Capital gains and dividends for individuals and families earning below $400,000 and $450,000, respectively, will remain at 15 percent. For those above those thresholds, the dividend tax rate will increase to 20 percent.
  • The first $5 million dollars in individual estates and $10 million for family estates are now exempted from the estate tax. After that the rate will be 40 percent, up from 35 percent.

Take a look at sales figures in our local real estate market for 2012.

Midtown Montgomery real estate sales statistics for 2012 show the number of homes sold increased by 12% when compared to 2011. The average sales price decreased by 5% to $123,573 for the year. The median sales prices decreased by 6%, and market times increased by 1 day. The highest selling home price increased by 17%, and the lowest selling home price was 100% higher in 2012 than 2011.

But don't despair! I just finished a study of the market in its entirety, and it clearly shows that the Montgomery MSA bottomed out sometime in 2012 but has already come back. The median selling price 12/31/2011 was $125,000 and 12/31/2012 was $126,000. That's the first increase in median selling price since 2007.

Midtown Montgomery 2012 2011
Homes Sold 329 291
Average Selling Price $ 123,573 $ 126,610
Median Selling Price $ 104,000 $ 110,000
Days On The Market 132 131
Highest Selling Price $ 785,000 $ 649,000
Lowest Selling Price $ 3,000 $1


The good news is that the level of buyer activity in the Midtown Montgomery market is up substantially, which may mean an upturn ahead.

Montgomery Real Estate For Sale:2026 Ridge Avenue Montgomery, AL 36106

Montgomery Real Estate For Sale

2026 Ridge Avenue Montgomery, AL 36106

Built in the roaring twenties this hansom cottage constructed of oversized brick is tucked away behind two cottages and surrounded by some of the largest estate homes Cloverdale has to offer. Someone once said buying the smallest, least expensive home on a street of larger more expensive homes is a good idea. This sure meets both criteria. The owner is selling it AS-IS and has priced it accordingly. This is one of if not the least expensive homes in Old Cloverdale! Amenities include a large beautiful fenced backyard, double garage, and workshop. The home also features hardwood floors, small period kitchen with original cabinetry, added laundry room with sink, and a large den addition. Bring your favorite contractor/architect for a consult as this old house is down but far from out. "Property to be sold as is."
