Did you know that the average home sits on the market in the Piedmont Area for 149 days? That is the average time that homes in York County and the surrounding counties have sat on the market that are for sale in 2009 according to the South Carolina Realtors Association. These figures are for the Piedmont Area which is where homes in Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Lake Wylie, York and Clover all are located. This is up 14.3% from the average time in 2008…and 2009 is still with us. This number could get even higher.

For this reason I highly recommend that a seller plan their home sale appropriately. If you are trying to sell your home in Rock Hill or attempting to sell in Fort Mill or wherever in York County that you are trying to market your home, it is so important to use a good home selling strategy. Analyze your home, fix your home, stage your home and then successfully market and sell your home. Remember your home is competing against the other York County homes for sale in your neighborhood. And they want to sell their homes too.

If you are considering selling your home, contact the Palmetto Property Pros, for a complete home analysis on the successful marketing of your home. We would be happy to come to your home and provide you with an analysis of the property and a home selling strategy that will work. We can go room by room through your home and give you a checklist to complete to make it sell for you. Buck the trend. Sell quicker and for a higher amount. Give us a call.

Thanks,
Ross Harkness
