To sell your home during a pandemic certainly comes with a whole lot more questions. Beyond the usual pricing and service, come safety and protocol questions. Us Coldwell Banker agents take covid seriously. We insist proper protocols are followed when clients are shown your home. And we ask you to help out too!
To start, we maximize the use of technology to minimize the number of showings. Our photographers not only capture all angles of your home, they produce 3-D tours and floor plans. Potential buyers can virtually walk themselves through your home and know the layout, the views, the room sizes…everything but that in-person feel. If your home passes the virtual test, then a live tour is requested.
We ask sellers to leave lights on, and any interior doors left open to reduce contact to a minimum.
We ask agents and their clients to mask, sanitize or glove and not to touch anything other than the lock box and the door lock.
As an extra precaution, we will provide masks and sanitizer for those that got to your front door and forgot.
We are proud to say that not one of our clients has had a covid issue under our watch…a record we hope to maintain throughout this pandemic. That is not to say there isn’t a risk – but if you need to sell we will do our very best to ensure your safety.
The added bonus to selling now is that inventory continues to be at an all time low. The number of listings at the end of Dec 2020 is 27% lower than Dec 2019. Year to date sales are up 19%, with a rise in median prices of 8.5%. However…if you look at last December, sales for the month are up 60% over Dec 2019 and median price is up 16%. What that tells us is the market gained momentum throughout the year and so far, continues strong.
Despite the pandemic…it is a great time to sell. Call us today – we would be happy to provide specific details for you and your property.
