Duplex Lot

How can I sell my house in a short period of time?

We have a house close to downtown St. Paul, MN. We would like to sell and relocate very soon, our house is valued at about $190,000. It is a duplex on a corner lot with a driveway and a garage. The house does need a little work. We are looking to sell for somewhere about $165,000 within the next two months. Does anyone have any advice?

There are allot of factors to consider when trying to sell quickly. If your house was valued at 190,000 that doesn't necessarily mean it will sell for that. But, take a look at the market immediately surrounding your property and see what similar properties are selling for, properties similar in size, make sure you are looking at other 2 family homes, and properties that are similar in condition. Notice what the average DOM (days on market) for these properties are. For example, if similar properties are selling on average for 180K after 60 DOM consider listing yours for 165K if you really want to move it quickly. Also, a small amount of cosmetic work can go a long way! Make sure the interior is neat and clean, slap on some fresh interior paint, and make sure curb appeal is desirable by keeping the yard manicured, and free of any trash or other debris, touch up exterior trim paint if necessary. Small improvements like this can make a huge difference to a buyers first impression, it gives them a sense of how the property has been cared for. Hope this helps.
