Baton Rouge Realtor Homes

Well, as school is getting underway around town, I’m starting to notice fewer phone calls coming through the office.  This, of course, is the typical start to the school year. As parents’ attention is focused on buying school supplies, uniforms, and books their atttention on a potential move get’s pushed to the back of their minds.  So if you have a home on the market, what are you to do?

Well, first of all, let’s remember that this school rush is temporary. As all the kiddies get settled into the school year, the parents will turn back their attention to other details.  If a move was in their minds before, they’ll remember that when September rolls around and start looking again.  Patience truly will get you through the school year.

It’s also good to note that while fewer buyers may be viewing your home for sale now that school has kicked off, those that do view your home must be serious buyers. (Or buyers without children!)  Seriously though, the people who are devoting precious time to looking at homes during this time of the year, have certainly put their homesearch as a top priority.  It’s important to keep your home ready for showings and be ready to leave for people to see it.  This is a time when you’ll want to be sure that any serious buyers that come out get a chance to see your home and consider it as one of their top choices.

If you are a buyer in this market, remember that there are many people who are working around school schedules now.  It may be helpful if you schedule your viewings during the day while the kids are in school.  This can make life easier for you (if you have children) and for the sellers living in the homes that you intend to view.  Making life easier for everyone is a good way to lay the groundwork for a sucessful transaction.
