The housing market has changed in North Dallas, Collin County, and Denton County over the past year, and you might be wondering what’s in store for the remainder of the year. If you’re thinking about selling, consider these top-selling tips for 2024.
1. Price Your House Right
You control the asking (or list) price.
Pricing your house correctly – from the beginning – is critical to selling it quickly and for the highest price.
If you price it too high, it can deter potential buyers and keep your home on the market for too long. When it’s on the market for too long, buyers assume there’s something wrong, and they become more cautious about making offers.
On the other hand, pricing it too low may do the same thing—make buyers think something is wrong with the property. Either way, you may end up getting less money than your home is worth. Sellers who price and market their homes competitively shouldn’t have a problem finding a buyer.

2. Make it Look as Appealing as Possible.
The second top selling tip is to improve the visual appeal. Consider creating an inviting atmosphere that allows potential buyers to imagine living in your house. Make sure it is clean and clutter-free.
You can hire a professional stager or do it yourself by decluttering, depersonalizing, and making necessary repairs.
3. Marketing is Selling:
A comprehensive marketing strategy is key to attracting potential buyers to your home.
Your real estate professional can create a marketing plan that includes online listings, creative and complete descriptions, professional photos and videos, and social media marketing.
This is not a top-selling tip for 2024 – it is a necessity!
4. Be Flexible and Responsive:
Being flexible and responsive to showing requests, questions, and written offers makes all the difference. Be sure you and your family, including pets, are ready to show your home on short notice and always respond quickly to any inquiries or offers. Your agent follows your lead on this and must also be available and open in their communications on your behalf. Yet another reason to choose your agent carefully – they will be your voice.
When buyers are evaluating homes, it’s a process of elimination. Don’t let your house be eliminated by slow or failure to communicate. Potential buyers are that you are motivated to sell your home and willing to work with them to make it happen.
By following these four top selling tips for 2024, you increase your chances of selling your home quickly, without any hassles, and for the most money. Good luck with your home sale!
Market Reports for Your Community!
Houses that are updated and priced at their current market value are still selling. The need to price your home right is important today because the market has changed so much over the past year. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at realtor.com, explains:
“With a smaller pool of buyers today and more competition from other homes on the market, home sellers will likely need to adjust their price expectations in the market this spring.”
While this spring housing market is different than last year’s, sellers with proper expectations who lean on a real estate expert for the best advice on pricing their house well are still succeeding. And that’s great news if you’re thinking about selling.
Buyers Are Still Out There
As mortgage rates remain volatile, some buyers have paused their plans. But there are
still plenty of reasons people are buying homes today.
For some buyers, higher mortgage rates simply means buying a home is out of the question unless home prices fall. They may reduce their expectations and down theirFor others, higher mortgage rates will be a hurdle but ultimately will not keep them from getting back into the market after sitting on the sidelines for months.
That’s why, if you’re interested in selling your house this spring, it’s helpful to work with a real estate agent who can help you connect with buyers who are ready to purchase a home.
