SETTING THE LIST PRICE

Pricing Your Home to Get What You Need $$

Setting your asking price is one of the most critical decisions you will ever make related to selling your home. Your asking price might very well be the first piece of information a potential buyer sees.

Your home could be discarded early in the process for many qualified buyers if it is prices too high or too low. Keep in mind many buyers have a very narrow price margin when they consider buying.

You want to market your home to all potential buyers in and around your price range to gain the maximum marketability and to create buying competition for your home.

It is often very difficult for homeowners to price their own home for two distinct reasons:

  1. They are not involved in the real estate market fulltime and therefore they can not feel the pulse of what is often a very dynamic and quickly changing market.
  2. They are emotionally involved.

Pricing your home too high can be as costly to a home seller as pricing it too low. You do not want your listing to get stale.
