Selling homes - At what cost?

The first decision a home seller must make with selling homes is whether he considers the services of an estate agent worth the commission, and if not, what alternative marketing possibilities exist.

CKM are on-line marketers for property and offer related services and service providers to the building and construction industry. If you don't wish to rely on the newspaper for advertising, then utilizing the Internet for home listing services is a worthwhile opportunity for a huge scope of people to look at.

Thousands of buyers look for and find various sites searching on the Internet each day, which is actually the single most efficient and valuable component of your marketing plan to sell your home. Apart from its sheer advertising value, if you use the Internet as a marketing tool, it will in fact save you more time than you pay for it, since you can save yourself many hours of time repeating information over and over again to people who are phoning you in response to your own tiny little ad in the newspaper.

When it comes to selling homes, it is imperative that your house is priced correctly, or else all the hard work spent on marketing and making your home presentable will be wasted. Before you get into selling homes, you need to be aware of the costs involved in selling your property. A realistic price creates demand, while an unrealistic price only sends buyers away. Compare the price of houses in the area which have recently been sold. For a comparative market analysis, using the sales price index website will give you an idea of past sales in your area as well as in your street

Costs in selling homes:

Bond cancellation fees: A fee for cancelling your current bond will be deducted from the amount the banks pay out once the property is sold.

Tax: If your home was purchased in a legal entity, you will have to pay Capital Gains Tax. You will still have to pay tax if the profit on the sale of the property is more than one million rand.

Council costs:

The conveyancer will hold back an amount on behalf of the Council to cover the likes of rates, taxes, water and lights. Other costs will be inevitable when moving to a new property.
