Seller’s Checklist…Fort Smith Real Estate
March 8, 2008 by Ray Nellum · Leave a Comment
Once you’ve listed your home, there is still more work. More work??? Yes, more work. You need to make sure your home is in the best shape and more competitive than the home down the street! Fort Smith Real Estate is highly competitive, and you want to put your best effort forward, NOW.
- Seller’s Checklist for Fort Smith Real Estate:
* Curb Appeal - make sure your yard clean and well maintained. Make sure all tree limbs are trimmed away from the house.
* Exterior - siding needs to be washed down and windows cleaned. Make sure there’s no peeling paint. Gutters and down spouts need to be cleaned also.
* Interior Paint - a fresh coat of paint is always appealing. If there are holes in the wall from pictures; repair and paint.
* Major Appliances - make sure all appliances are in working order. It’s always a good idea to have your CH/A unit serviced as well.
* Smoking - if you some in your home, stop. Some buyers may have allergies. Some buyers walk in, and immediately turn around.
* Clutter - get it out of the house, and don’t move it to the garage. That spacious two car garage doesn’t do us any good if a perspective buyer can’t see it for “Stuff”.
* Pets -no you don’t have to kick Rover out, but please make sure to pick up what Rover leaves behind, lol.

Fort Smith Real Estate might be very complicated to some but I will try to bring some clarity to the Crawford County Market Report: January through February 2008.
In 2007 there were 93 residential units that sold between January and February. In 2008 there were 90 residential units sold during the same time frame. Crawford county only saw a very slight decrease of 3%!!! That is very good when other markets are suffering from double digit losses.
Below are the Averages for the homes.
| 2007 | List Price | Sale Price | DOM | Sq. Ft. |
| Jan-Feb | 138,991 | 136,658 | 165 | 1,705 |
| 2008 | List Price | Sale Price | DOM | Sq. Ft. |
| Jan-Feb | $127,448 | $123,583 | 120 | 1630 |

Quit scratching your head and let me try to lead you through the sometimes confusing world of
National Reports of course include the homes sold throughout the nation. My Market Reports ONLY include Residential Homes sold within Sebastian County, Arkansas.
It’s also important to remember, each market is different! It’s important that you find an agent that is KNOWLEDGEABLE in their market.
