There have been 12 new residential real estate listings priced between $500,000 and $9,000,000 during the past 7 weeks (December 1, 2007 through January 18, 2008) here in Haywood County, NC. There were 2 new listings in this same category during the same period last year. These homes offer amenities such as absolutely stunning views from every direction, rushing creeks, ponds, golf course views, long range views, tennis courts, and guest houses, to name just a few.
Forbes presented soft-market secrets to selling a home which provide strategies to consider when considering selling a home in this market, and with the increase in the number of high-end homes for sale here in the mountains of beautiful Western North Carolina, this article was very interesting and timely.
“Generating interest through luxurious throw-ins is another effective strategy in the high-end market, especially if you’re selling a prime property, as opposed to a McMansion or median-range home. Increasingly, sellers are including cars, stereo systems, gym memberships and other high-end perks as signing bonuses. While these incentives might not be enough to seal a deal, they can serve to lure buyers who might have otherwise passed by a property.
“The price of a stereo is almost irrelevant–and so is a car, when the apartment price is several million dollars,” says Harrio DiOrio, a broker with Prudential Douglas Elliman in New York City. “I don’t think anyone would buy an expensive piece of property just to get a free stereo system, but the lure of the price may be the catalyst for the sale.”
