Sellers: You still have the upper hand — if you do this right 👇

Thinking about selling your home, but not sure if the market is still in your favor. Well, let me show you how sellers are still winning with the right strategy. Even though the market’s shifting, smart sellers are still getting top dollar. Let's talk about three ways you can leverage the current market to your advantage.

Number one, low inventory in key areas, while inventory is rising in some places. Many SLO County neighborhoods still have limited homes for sale, and that gives you, as a seller leverage. But pricing is everything priced too high and your home could sit, price just right you attract serious interest and possibly multiple offers and stronger terms. Second, move in ready sells. Today's buyers want turnkey, and that means smart updates, clean and staged. You do not need a full remodel, fresh paint, modern fixtures and curb appeal go a long way in making buyers fall in love with your home. And third, smart incentives, offering things like rate buy downs or covering closing costs can really sweeten the deal for buyers, especially those navigating affordability, which is a big challenge for buyers these days.

It's not about giving everything away. It's about strategic negotiation and having the right agent in your corner makes all the difference. And lastly, marketing matters. Over 90% of buyers start their search online. So that means that your home's marketing needs to shine with high quality photos, video walkthroughs and scroll stopping social media exposure. Selling in this market is possible, but the key is having a strategy tailored to your home and your goals.
