		As the seller, you can control three factors that will affect the sale of your home:
  
		
  
		     • The home's condition
  
		      
		• Asking price
  
		     • Marketing strategy
  
		
  
		However, it's important to note that there are numerous other factors that  
		influence a buyer, and you need to understand these consumer trends when you enter the sellers' market.  The more your home matches  
		these qualifications, the more competitive it will be in the marketplace.  Your real estate agent can advise you on how to best  
		position and market your home to overcome any perceived downsides.
  
		
  
		Location
  
		
  
		Unfortunately, the most influential factor in determining  
		your home's appeal to buyers is something you can't control: it is location.  According to the National Association of REALTORS®,   
		neighborhood quality is the No. 1 reason buyers choose certain homes.  The second most influential factor is commute times to  
		work and school.
  
		
  
		Size
  
		
  
		While some buyers want to simplify their lives and downsize to a smaller home, home sizes in general have continued  
		to increase over the decades, nearly doubling in size since the 1950's.  Smaller homes typically appeal to first-time home buyers  
		and "empty nesters," or couples whose children have grown up and moved out.
  
		
  
		Amenities
  
		
  
		Preferences in floor plans and amenities go in  
		and out of fashion, and your real estate agent can inform you of the "hot ticket" items that are selling homes in your market.   
		If your home lacks certain features, you can renovate to increase its appeal, but be forewarned:  that's not always the right  
		move.  Using market conditions and activity in your neighborhood as a gauge, your agent can help you determine whether the investment  
		is likely to help or hinder your profit margin and time on the market.
