Staging your home is a proven way to make it stand out.
The simple fact is price is the number one factor that helps home buyers determine what homes they want to view. It’s important to remember that—although the price is set by the seller—the value of the home is determined by the buyer.
Factors that can effect your asking price
- How quickly you need to sell.
- The amount of competition in your price category and geographical area.
- The availability, flexibility, and affordability of financing.
- The sale prices of similar homes sold in your area during the past six months to one year.
Factors that should not effect your asking price
- The original cost of the property. (it should be determined by the current market)
- Any investments that you've made in home improvements
- The cost to build your home today.
- Emotional attachments.
- The opinions of friends and neighbors.
Problems that can arise from overpricing
- You might help sell similar homes that are priced lower.
- Your home may stay on the market longer.
- You could lose money as a result of making extra mortgage payments and taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
- You may have to accept less money.
- A potential buyer may face appraisal and financing problems as a result of inflated rate.
The right price means a Successful sale.
Pricing your home is both an art and a science. Achieving the optimal price is the result of objective research into comparable properties and a gut feeling about your property and current market. We can help!
