Here are some more suggestions for coping with selling in a buyer's market:

• Consider a home inspection before you list – learn what problems your home might have (particularly important if you have owned your home for more than a few years) and take care of these issues, particularly obvious defects.
• Be flexible – don't be too restrictive in allowing showins - you may miss out on a good buyer.
• Be prepared to negotiate – buyers expect a seller will negotiate in this market and they will likely bring you a less-than-full-price offer, and amy ask for other concessions as well. Buyers are more in control now. Discuss how to approach this situation with your REALTOR.
• Expect that selling will take time – it may take weeks or longer, even if you do everthing right. Many buyers are worried now and believe prices will drop further. Some are taking a wait and see approach.

My blog on ActiveRain has more details on these points - take a moment to stop by. As always, when planning to sell, it makes sense to contact a knowledgeable REALTOR in your area to get all the information you need so you can make a wise decision.
