You're Selling Your Home, but how should you price it?
Customer Service - Help Center
Pricing
your property appropriately for the current market in your specific
area is absolutely essential for a speedy sale. The biggest reason
homes don’t sell is simply that they are overpriced. Be wary
of setting your asking prices above what your Comparative Market
Analysis (CMA) suggests, and take your real estate agent's advice to heart if you are
using one. Buyers have agents looking out for their best interests,
and are well aware of competitive listings in your area. Even without
their agent’s direction, they have a great deal of experience
in assessing home value, and the benefit of shopping around for
comparison.
Avoid the pitfalls of asking too much at the start of the for-sale
process. Unsold properties listed for lengthy periods of time are
less exciting and appealing to potential buyers, and may attract
lower offers as their asking price is perceived to be too high,
or the seller desperate. Lastly, remember that your asking price
must be in line with the appraisal your buyer’s mortgage lender
will require.
Decide on an asking price that you believe truly reflects
your stance as a motivated seller! To make your realistic asking
price further work to your advantage, be prepared to be somewhat
flexible from the moment your property is listed. Consider all offers
made, and make a counteroffer on each one. It is not only possible
but likely the negotiation process will result in a satisfactory
resolution for both parties. You are far more likely to succeed
in selling your property quickly and profitably by working with
potential buyers instead of against them. click here to be referred to a real estate in your area
