You must price it right when when your home 1st goes on the market. You have about 21 days to be “new”. After that you are just another home in the ever increasing inventory that we are all seeing now. I can show you comparatives, we can review the numbers, the days on market etc, I can provide good photos, but if you are not priced very competitively you will not sell your home.
Because buyers struggle with getting financing today, and home appraisals are very conservative, it is important that a client and their Realtor spend the time to be sure that your home is priced right from the start and that the evidence is clear on why it is priced correctly.
Important things to take in to consideration when pricing your home. 1) homes for sale or which have sold recently within a 2-3 mile radius of your home. Be sure that you know the facts about these homes. 2) On sold properties compare the original price to what it ultimately sold for, and how many days it was on the market. 3) Be sure your home is the best or at least one of the best looking homes on the market in your price range. It might be that you need to have new landscaping, paint, or update the window coverings. Part of having the right price is being the best property you can be at that price.
Trust your Realtor. We spend our time looking at homes, comparing statistics, talking with buyers. We know how to compare your home to others on the market. Ask the questions, get the right answers and then put it on the market to sell.
