The single most important factor in selling a home is your asking price. In a declining market the asking price becomes even more crucial. Buyers are very apprehensive right now and generally won't overpay for a property (although I have seen some exceptions to this).
Sellers have the most leverage in a transaction when the property has not been on the market a long time. One question that every buyer asks is "How long has it been on the market?" Interested buyers adjust their offer price based on the length of time the property has been for sale. Price your property right from day one. This can be difficult when the market is moving quickly to the up or down side or if no similar homes have sold recently.

This fantastic home in downtown Sarasota closed recently. It was located in historic Laurel Park which provides convenient access to everything downtown has to offer as well as a quick drive to the area beaches.

Bargain hunters moved into Southwest Florida during April, pushing homes sales up 5 percent in the Sarasota-Bradenton market and 6 percent in Charlotte County-North Port.
Even more promising, the rising sales were accompanied by rising prices. Though prices continue to be lower than a year ago, the median Sarasota-Bradenton price was 12 percent higher in April than it was in March.
Realtors have been saying for several months that sales were perking up in Southwest Florida. The numbers reported Friday by the Florida Association of Realtors -- a lagging indicator because the deals were likely struck two or three months ago --...

Want to find out what is for sale in a specific Sarasota condo or neighborhood? Now you can. I changed my Sarasota MLS search to allow you to query specific neighborhoods or condo buildings.
For example, let's say you want to find out what is for sale in the Beau Ciel condo building. Go to the "Search Listings" tab up top then click on the "By Condo" tab and scroll down to "Beau Ciel". Hit the "Start Search" button and presto. You are taken to a page that contains all of the condos for sale in Beau Ciel.
