December 09, 1983 - Orient Bird CountPage 12A The Ouf f 0111 rimieg December 9, 1982 Selling Your House' Debby Sharp PRICES ARE UP In the midst of bad economic news and reports of flat market conditions, it may be surprising to hear that "Prices are UP!" But it is true. For the majority of people selling their homes today, prices are well above what they paid for the property originally. They may not make quite the "killing" possible in previous years, but there's still a healthy appreciation above purchase price. For the people who must move often, the news is not quite so good. To sell a house today that you bought a year or two ago may result in a loss. Dollar values are depressed at the moment; the seller caught in this squeeze should think of the current transaction as just one in a chain of buyings and sellings of homes. No doubt there have been increases since the first home was purchased, and there will be increases again; this sale is just a breathing space, an opportunity NOT to worry about capital gains and taxes. No matter how long you've owned your home, you want to maximize its value, to get as much out of it as possible. Statistics indicate that the seller who utilizes the services of a real estate professional will realize more on a sale, despite commissions, because the real estate agents gets a better price -- and sooner. Maximize the potential of YOUR real estate. List with... Arthur J. Sharp Really and get the knowhow you need.
