Huntington Beach Realtor Offers Pricing Strategies for Slow Market to Orange County Home Sellers

With the real estate market slow Huntington Beach Realtor Deedee Sive helps home sellers get more and better offers for their homes.

Huntington Beach, CA, April 22, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Huntington Beach realtor Dee Dee Sive is taking on the sluggish Orange County real estate market in a whole new way. Determined to help sellers in today’s slow market better understand how to get offers on their properties, Sive has begun offering real-world pricing strategy advice to any and all Huntington Beach home sellers.

“This market is incredibly difficult for sellers,” says Sive, a member of the Professional Standards Committee and a licensed mediator for the Orange County Board of Realtors. “Homes are not selling quickly anymore and competitive pricing is the only way to really move a home in today’s market. Unfortunately many sellers don’t want to adjust their price for the current market. They want to ask the same price for their home as they would have two or three years ago, and that is just unrealistic.”

Sive says that sellers in the Orange County real estate market need to stop fixating on the past and look at the present in order to find the most realistic sales price for their home. Since home values in the area have dropped, Sive believes that many sellers who paid top dollar for their properties during the home boom a few years ago are simply unwilling to believe their home could possible be worth less today then they had hoped when they purchased their property.

“It’s important for sellers to understand that the value of their home is not a reflection of the price they paid or how much profit they hope to make,” says Sive. “Sellers have to price their home according to the actual sales prices for comparable homes in the area. No matter how much a buyer loves your home, in a market like this, there is little chance they will buy your property over one down the street that is listed for thousands less.”

Since property pricing can be tricky, Sive recommends that all sellers find an Orange County realtor who can honestly and accurately price property for sale based on comparables in the area. Sive also warns that while realtors do exist that are willing to list a home for whatever price a seller asks, it is often times a red flag that the realtor is not looking out for their best interest.
