Sales Trends in St. Louis County Real Estate - Mehlville School District (Missouri)

Diane Bicket — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:52:00 GMT

In my continuing effort to keep you up-to-date on St. Louis County real estate trends, here are the 10-year sales stats for MEHLVILLE schools in South St. Louis County. I've provided you with a clear picture of the sales prices and trends between 2000 and 2009. This data is taken directly from all the sales listed in the MLS (Multi-List System). (Median sales price means, effectively, that half the houses sold for more and half the houses sold for less.)

The Median Sales Price reflects the actual sales trends in this 10-year period. The 4% Increase Per Year indicates what that same sales price would have been with an average 4% increase per year.

It's too early in 2010 to see trends. However, sales prices continue to slowly increase in many areas. For more information about the current market value of a specific property, give me a call at 314-406-3200.

10 TIPS - Getting Your House Ready to Sell (St. Louis County Real Estate)

In today's market, buyers want value AND great condition. Yes, it's a "beauty contest"! So what can you do to ensure your house shows its best? I know, it's very difficult to keep your house show-ready, especially if you have children. But you really need to make your house look like a display home! Buyers want to visualize themselves in your house - they don't want to see how your family lives in that house.

Here are 10 items to address prior to selling.

First impressions are lasting! The front door greets the prospect. Make sure it appears fresh and clean. Paint the trim, if necessary.
Keep the lawn trimmed and edged, and the yard free of refuse. Reseed and fertilize the lawn, if necessary. Weed the gardens, and add mulch. Deep green grass makes a lasting impression. In winter, be sure snow and ice are removed from walks and steps.
Decorate for a quick sale. Faded walls and worn woodwork reduce appeal.
Let the sun shine in. Open draperies and curtains and let the prospect see how cheerful your home can be. (Dark rooms do not appeal)
Kitchens help sell homes. Are the appliances sparkling clean and operating properly?
Fix the faucet! Dripping water discolors sinks and suggests faulty plumbing.
Loose knobs, sticking doors and windows, warped cabinet drawers and other minor flaws detract from home value. Have them fixed.
Pack excess linens and clothing to make closets look bigger. Neat, well-ordered closets show the space is ample.
Bathrooms help sell homes. Check and repair grout in bathtubs and showers. Make this room sparkle.
Arrange bedrooms neatly. Remove excess furniture. Use attractive bedspreads and fresh looking window coverings.

REMEMBER, you will get the most traffic through your home within the first 30 days after listing. So don't waste that "prime" market time. Address these 10 items before you start showing the house.

And if you have further questions about getting your house ready to sell, give me a call at 314-677-6270.
