How To Sell Your House In Northern Wisconsin

The answer to this will depend on how you choose to sell your home and the price it goes for. Let's look at the different ways to sell and some costs related to each.

• For Sale By Owner (FSBO)

While selling your home yourself may sound appealing, it may not be the bargain you're expecting — and you definitely won't be saving any time. With staging, photography, marketing, listing, showing, finding a real estate lawyer, and so on, you may be biting off more than you can chew. Costs to sell your own house vary widely. Staging alone costs, on average, about $1200. Tack on listing fees, lawyers, and the time you're going to sink into showing, it might not be worth it.

• i-Buyers

If you're looking to sell your home quickly, an iBuyer may be your best bet. You can save time and money as many of the most popular iBuyers are happy to take a house as-is. However, you'll likely take a financial hit. Most iBuyers will make an offer that's significantly lower than you might get on the open market, so the final cost will depend on the offer you ultimately accept.

• Real Estate Agents

Working with a realtor is often thought of as the most expensive way to sell a house, but don't be fooled. Listing agents do all the legwork for you: photography, staging, marketing, etc. And working with a knowledgeable professional can make all the difference in negotiations. Real estate commission fees typically fall at about 6% of the listing price, but the vast majority of sellers agree that it's the best way to sell your house.

Sure! Well, it depends. How's the weather? Property for primary residences sells faster when it's listed in the spring, and that's true when it comes to buying lake homes and cabins too. But unlike traditional homes, seasonal homes are often snapped up before or after high season, no matter what the weather's like. Luckily, Northwest Wisconsin is always in high season. Whether it's the miles of cross-country skiing trails or the many watersports enjoyed on the lakes, buyers who are motivated by something the Northwest region of Wisconsin has to offer will likely want to move in ASAP, no matter what time of year.

Whether you're selling a house in Hayward, Cable, Cumberland, or beyond, the best way to sell your house is by teaming up with a knowledgeable real estate agent.
