Setting the Listing Price
Setting the price for your home so that it will sell in a reasonable amount of time depends on several things. Market prices vary greatly depending on your location. Buyers and Appraisers will compare homes in the area that are similar in size and age. When a buyer begins looking for a home, they shop neighborhoods and prices, then choose from the homes that fit their wants and budget.
- If you set the price too high, your house won’t be competitive with other homes in your neighborhood , and the house will sit on the market until you lower the price to meet the market standard.
- If you price too low, you will short-change yourself before potential buyers who would have paid more sees your home.
Because I know the housing markets in my area, I can help you with pricing your home to make sure you get prospective buyers and a good price for your home by,
- Finding recent comparable sales.
- Analyzing market conditions.
- Developing offering incentives.
- Determining your net proceeds.
Using Comparable Sales
Your best guide for pricing your home is a record of what the buying public has been willing to pay in the past few months for properties similar to yours in your neighborhood.
I analyze comparable home sales in your neighborhood, so together we can decide on a competitive price for your home. The list of comparable sales we bring to you, along with data about other houses in your neighborhood presently on the market, is used for a “Comparative Market Analysis (CMA).” The CMA will give you an analysis of homes that sold or were on the market and did not sell. In the end, after I have done my analysis, the final decision about t he list price will be yours.
The best way to determine a fair sales price for your home is a professional appraisal. I will be happy to assist you in scheduling a professional appraisal for your property so you can confidently move forward with the sale of your home. This appraisal will be at your expense, but will provide you a true picture of market prices in your neighborhood and a basis for your asking price. You may want to actually ask more than the appraised market value if you think you home is better about the average home, or price it to move quickly. An appraisal will be required by any mortgage company if the new buyer does not pay cash for the home.
I can help you through the process to make sure you sell your home in a reasonable amount of time for a fair price.
