It’s All About the Price
The most important factor in a successful home sale is price. Choosing a listing price requires consideration of a number of elements: your home’s condition, your home’s size, the community and knowing what other homes similar to yours have sold for recently. I will provide a free Comparative Market Analysis that will show you the most recent sales in your neighborhood—at what price they sold for and how long they were on the market. This is an invaluable tool to help you set your home’s optimal listing price.
If your home is priced too high, several things can happen:
- Potential buyers, having looked at similar homes on the web, may dismiss it as overpriced without seeing it
- Other agents may be reluctant to bring potential buyers to your home
- Realtors may use your home as a comparison with similar homes that are more realistically priced
- The home may stay on the market for a long time, prompting buyers to wonder what’s wrong with it
- An overpriced home, still on the market beyond the average selling time, will likely result in having to lower the price in order to sell it
- You will make additional mortgage payments as the home continues to sit on the market
- You may not be able to buy your new home if you are relying on the sale of your current home to finance it
