A buyers' market is one in which there are as many properties on the market as there are buyers. Homes take longer to sell and prices fall. Realtors consider a typical market to be one in which homes take an average of six months to sell.

I've been through it previously and I won't even wish it for my worst enemy (if I ever I have an enemy which gladly, I don't). The headache of not knowing what will happen next month, the horrible feeling that once again, you will most likely pay a mortgage payment without any cash coming in, and the knowledge that the money you expected when you first bought the property is now a lot less and continues to go down every single month you don't sell the property... all mixed to make you stressed out with a property I call the "slow mover".

Today there are so many homes on the market that buyers can pick and choose...and bargain. So what is going to make them purchase YOUR home? Well, it could be the best bargain, monetarily. But most often, the house they pick is one that is in good condition, clean, looks roomy and uncluttered, and is neutral enough that they don't have to replace counters, carpeting, and other permanent fixtures.

Rather than follow such a method it would be a better idea to look towards other attractive benefits that would make a buyer look into the home. One such method would involve including a home warranty. While not a new idea, the home warranty is becoming more popular these days due to its increased effectiveness.
