Creative, Online Ways Homeowners and Developers are Finding to Sell Their Houses

Business is nothing else, if it's not finding creative solutions to the problems people face. With that in mind, businesses are emerging on the Internet which cater to the problem of people being able to sell their homes in a tough market.

New way to sell your home

Homeowners struggling to sell their homes are finding a new solution - house swapping.  Online services have cropped up to help people find comparable homes, and developers are offering to take trade-ins, like car dealers.  

Online help in making location decisions

Other Web sites have also appeared that can help people decide whether they want to live in a certain neighborhood.

Best Locations?

Some Web sites have also emerged to help people decide on what neighborhood to buy a house. Some of the more important are Walkscore.com, which will let you know how far it is to stores or parks nearby. Another good site for couples with children is greatschools.com, which tells you about the quality of schools. And finally, rottenneighbor.com also does what it says, reveals the people who you may be living next door to.

Developer Swapping

What some developers have started doing is offer to buy the house of a buyer, if that buyer is willing to trade up by 20 percent over the cost of their existing home.

It's a great idea and a win/win situation. Developers can move homes their stuck with, and buyers can unload their home which they can't get a good price for because of declining prices and a tight credit market.

There's approximately 13 percent more homes on the market in the United States than there were a year ago.

Some Web sites now offering people the opportunity to swap homes:

www.onlinehousetrading.com

www.house4trade.com

www.goswap.com

www.domuswap.com

www.craigslist.org

This is a good case study of how someone can take leadership in a trend that isn't going to go away any time soon. Not only that, but it could definitely become a way of doing business that for the most part didn't exist in the past; although there were a limited number of exceptions.
