North West Florida Housing market Continues to Show Signs of rebounding

It seems to me that everyday we receive conflicting reports of the economy and how it is affecting the housing recovery.
For us to sustain the recovery we will need job creation and a reinvestment in America. It is a time for a pro growth agenda in the US. A better fairer tax system and the incentives for the world's business' to invest in America long term.

With all that said, locally we have seen inventories drop 20% in last year. Every month for the last 12 months we have seen a small but positive up tick in price and sales in most local areas. real estate by it nature is Hyperlocal so not all areas have had the same positive news.
Overall it seems many people have noticed Florida is on sale. When you compare Florida to most of the US it's a better value. Florida is even more of a value when you compare it to the Global market. This combined with our stable government it's a no brainier.

Try Creative Buyerization and start dreaming about a Buyer.

An old process recently prov-en by science research is being introduced to sellers nationwide, by the more progressive agents. This process will help a seller find a buyer and get their home sold.
Sit in a comfortable position and relax from head to toes. Take a few deep breathes and close your eyes.
In your minds eye Picture your home in it's perfect condition. Visualize all the repairs, improvement and updates you have just completed. Visualize a buyer exploring the World Wide Web coming across your home in there search. Your home is the perfect home for them because it fills all their wants and needs. See them make an appointment to view with there agent. See them leaving there old home and arriving at your home with anticipation. Visual them  impressed with your well manicured yard and notice your fresh Mulch. Watch them approach your freshly painted entry door and exterior power washed home. What them come into your home greeted by your exquisitely staged home as they notice the smell of freshly baked cookies. See them explore and discover your homes special features. Visualize them making a full price offer and you accepting the offer. Next watch them and you going to a successful closing. Feel what it will be like to sell your home and cashing the check.
Psychologist say to practice this exercise daily until your home sells. This a similar practice to what Brain Tracy has taught to the US Olympic team for 30 years.
In this market it is best try everything you can to give you an advantage and this doesn't a  cost a seller anything to try...

Sweet smell of success or What do you mean my home smells

                    



There is nothing as basic and primal as our sense of smell. Scientist say that our sense of smell bypasses our consciences awareness and goes straight to our basal cortex in our brain.
You have seen it, house looked great on the Internet. You pull up and the yard is nice trim and manicured and looks inviting. You and your buying prospect are excited as you enter the home you came to view.
As you walk into the home you are immediately hit with an odor like hitting a wall. Odors and their severity vary from home to home. It can be a smoker's home, an exotic chef, dog and cat's residence, sulfur smell, mold, dirty filters and many other common or other rare vapors can be present.
A seller needs to consider how a smell will effect a a potential buyer's opinion of their home. To help ensure success and a quicker offer it is best to eliminate all unpleasant odors. Clean filters, clean or replace carpet, eliminate all molds, scrub grouts, keep all pet items extra clean and orderly. Use fresh paint, pine-sol, carpet fresh, air filters, deodorants sprays, and plug ins.
I have found the best smell for a listed home or an open house is vanilla or the fresh smell of cookies.
Keeping your home smelling great will lead your seller to the green smell of money quicker.
