We've covered this topic before, but we just can't stress enough how important it is to accurately price your house.
When you put your house on the market, you’re exposing it to the people who know exactly where it should be priced — buyers! Buyers and their agents have seen everything comparable to yours and those other homes either cause your house to look like a good deal or not.
Homes that are overpriced sit on the market longer and make other homes look more appealing. We don’t want the price of your house to sell the house around the corner!
And the longer your house is on the market, the less money you’ll likely get for it. Even if you have time and aren’t in a hurry, the longer your house is on the market, the more ‘time-worn’ it becomes and people start to wonder what’s wrong with it and why it isn’t selling. The truth is, as long as it looks great and is easy to show, the only thing wrong is the price!
Pricing is an art and not a science, particularly if your house is older or unique. It takes years of experience combined with a thorough understanding of the current market for a real estate agent to price a house properly. Make sure you’re hiring someone with a proven track record of getting it right and listen to their advice. We know that our clients who sell in under a week with multiple offers are happier than those who price too high and have to wait week after week for it to sell — and we love happy clients!
