“But what about the sellers?” you ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn’t it obvious? Sellers need to get aggressive when marketing their properties so that their listings will stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes this means a price reduction. Sometimes it means increasing the buyer agent’s commission. Sometimes it means “offering a two-year lease on a BMW X3 SUV to the agent who finds a buyer.” Well, that’s what Courtney Tursi is doing to attract attention<\/a> to her Detroit home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately for us, Louisville sellers aren’t in dire straights like sellers in some of our country’s largest cities. But remember, step one is to lower expectations to a reasonable level.

And for people who’ve only been in their home for a short period of time, selling it and moving on without incurring any debt should be considered a winning play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
