Posted by Justin Havre Real Estate Team on Friday, May 31st, 2019 at 1:34pm.
The fastest way to find buyers when selling your home is by figuring out who would want it. There are target markets for anything that is being sold in today's society and the same is true for real estate. When you find your target market and connect with them you will have more interested buyers because they want what you have to offer.
You aren't going to try to sell a one bedroom condo to a family with four children. Likewise, you probably won't end up selling a large estate house to a retired senior. You can narrow down what your target market is by looking at the location of your property, its size and the demographic factors of the community.
What Different Demographics Can You Target?
There are some areas in Calgary that attract families. There are other areas that attract single business people or young couples. Some parts of town draw in seniors. There are a lot of different factors that will affect the target market and who you need to advertise to when you are selling your home. Your real estate agent will know all about this and can tell you what type of people will be looking at your home.
Exceptions to the Marketing Rule
Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule and you will have different types of people and families looking at your home. This does not mean that you should be directly advertising to these other people since they will be the exceptions for the most part.
Using a Real Estate Agent to Calculate Your Marketing Strategy
Your real estate agent knows how to advertise and market to different sections of the population. They also know what type of buyers would be interested in your home based on the items mentioned above. It is important that you understand why they are marketing your house a certain way so that you feel comfortable with the advertising.
