Pricing Your House
Your next
objective is to consult with me to determine the best possible selling price of
your home. You will need to take into account the state of the local market,
the condition of your home, and sales of comparable homes in your neighborhood.
I will create a comparative market analysis for you by taking into
consideration the type of market you are in and recent sales of comparable
properties. We will then guide you to the best fair market price that will help
sell your home within your desired time frame. Usually, real estate agents have
a clearer and more objective sense of market value than anyone else- including
appraisers!
Often, it can be hard for you, as a seller, to also maintain objectivity, so
remember to be reasonable about the price you set. You will always be better
off setting a fair market value price than setting your price high expecting that
someone will come along and be willing to pay it. If your home stays on the
market too long because it is overpriced, potential buyers may think that
something is wrong with it and you may end up selling it for less than what you
could have gotten if you had started out with a realistic asking price.
Pricing your home is a very important step in this process, and I am here to help you optimize the asking price in light of the home’s determined value.
