In Toronto, ON CANADA - first time buyer - looks at how many listings before making a purchase?

When I work with first time buyers I go through a buyer consultation with them to determine the five most important features of their next home while determining other important features.\n\nI'll typically preview between 10-20 homes depending on inventory and report back.\n\nFrom that set of homes, we will see somewhere between 6-10 properties in person.\n\nMore than 10 homes creates a certain amount of confusion as homes seem to run together. \n\nTry not to see more than 3-4 homes consecutively, or 6-8 homes in a day.

Good luck selling without a realtor. 99% of people just aren't comfortable without one. Too many things to miss or overlook. If you've tried to sell one using a realtor already, and had no luck, something is wrong with the house other than the price. Did you have a lot of shows? Did anyone make an offer at all?

If you are not familiar Dont,if you thinking of this type of business,get someone which is good in this trade to help you for a start.(normally an estate agent)\nTry not to flip too much houses at a goal.(my suggestion for a start try 1 or 2 properties until you are more familiar)\nDo not invest your monies on 1 area, try different areas or even countries you may think of potential.\n\nGood Luck\nemail jassmode@yahoo.com.sg\nColdwell Banker Real Estate (Singapore)

That really depends on the client, and how many homes they are looking at for a second time.  Some clients of mine have looked at multiple homes for a second time, only to write an offer the next day on one that they just saw for the first time.  \n\nOther clients have already decided that this is the house they want, but want to look one more time to refresh their mind before writing the offer, or to double check some things that they think they remember and want to reverify so as not to be confusing that home with one they saw another time.\n\nAs a seller it can be so difficult not to get your hopes up, but what I always tell my clients is not to count on anything until you have a contract in your hands, or at least the realtor does.\n\nSorry not to provide you with more positive information, but want to be honest....personally in some ways I don't like second showings unless I know the client is serious about it, because I hate to get seller's hopes up, but there's really no way around it.\n\nI hope in your case it means that you are about to get an offer!\n\nGood luck!

Figures for GLA only include above grade living area.  So, when your agent lists your house it will show as 2,500sf (or whatever) with finished basement etc.  The square footage is not really the first palce that a buyer will look.  It will be number of bedrooms and bathrooms.

If you have an agent, have them run a CMA (comparative market analysis) for the property.  This will tell you what other homes the same size, age and location have recently sold for.  From there, you can make a realistic offer.  I've had clients offer full price because of market demands, and I've had clients get $10-20k less because a particular area is slow.  You need more info!  You can email me if you have any further questions.

A buyer's market?? I think it depends on the housing market you are in. In some markets, sales are still going strong, while in others, there is more inventory on the market than willing and able buyers. So I would say it depends on the market It appears you are in Dallas Tx, I think Dallas is at an equilibrium right now, but what I would do would be to do what a buyer does when they are about to buy a house and look at CMA - comparable market analysis to see what similar homes sold for, I would also look at what similar homes currently on the market are selling for. In doing this, I would see how my property stacks against those currently on the market, price per sq ft of my property to the others. I would also do an  add/subtract on price with other properties. So if I have a pool and the current market cost of putting in a pool is 60K, then to compare my property to others, I would take that out of my cost. Finally I would look at the days on market for each of the homes currently on the market. Based on the information uncovered, then determine if its a buyer or sellers market. Hope this helps and best wishes with your home sale if you decide to go ahead with it.

When your relator sent your offer it should have been included that the seller had XX number of days to respond to your offer.  Anyone who is serious about selling their home will respond or counter offer you as soon as possible!  \n\nDon't worry purchasing is a very intimidating and mind-boggling...you'll definitly get a response tho. \n\nCongrats on making the first steps !

Where are you located (city/state)?  That would help direct you to someone who could help you find a buyer.

Offer first time buyer discounts.  Like 10% off.  People who are just looking may be motivated to buy if they think they are getting a deal.

Way too many floor plans and options to answer accurately.  Find your dealer price and subtract around 35%, you won't be far off.

Pick the city of your choice, contact a local real estate agency for commercial properties, tell them you need a shop sized location  in the suburbs/housing area.\n3 out of 5 ppl have pets, so you can estimate how many potential customers youd be having in that location and you can estimate if you can cover the expenses.

I don't know the NY Real Estate market but in sales (in my state)it takes months to close your first deal. Rentals may be different. But I think to make "killer dollars" you have in some "killer time".

It depends on where you live. If you live in a city that has a subdivision of "Craigslist", which in NY is newyork.craigslist.com (check www.craigslist.com ) and then go to the rightside of that main page to see if your city is listed. If so, click on that city, and then enter in your listing under "homes for sale".\n\nPut in as much information as you can. Put in pictures on the ad. Have an open house on a sunday from say 1:00 - 2:30 PM. Make sure you get everyone's phone # and e-mail address before they leave your home! Make sure you find out what the buyer wants before they come to your home! If they're looking for a 3-bedroom thats 1200 square feet and a 2-car garage, and you have a 4-bedroom that is 1500 square feet, with no garage, tell them this, so that you won't waste you rtime and theirs.\n\nTo get a price in mind to sell your home at, go to www.realtor.com and enter in your city's info, and search for similar homes.  Price your home accordingly.\n\nWhen you get offers, find out what % they can put down, when they can close, and how much they make, and where they live now and how much they pay.\n\nConsider all offers, because someone that offers less than you're looking for, but can put down 20% is much more likely to get a loan than someone that offers a higher price but can only put down 3% or so.\n\nAfter you get that all set, or even before, look for an attorney to do the paperwork for you. Very simple. So, you do NOT need a realtor to help you!! I've sold 2 of my homes this way, and saved obviously a bundle. \n\nGood luck!
