Determining Your Home’sPrice Conditionsthat do not affect the price of your home: • The profit you wish to make from the sale. • The amount of money you’ve spent on improvements. • What other sources, such as friends and appraisers, have told you it’s worth. • What you originally paid for the home.
The Danger of Overpricing When setting a price, why not ask for the moon? Make no mistake, we want you to get the best possible price for your property. However, when a home is priced too high for the market: • It attracts lookers, not legitimate buyers. • It implies that you aren’t motivated to sell. • It reduces the number of showings. • It helps the competition look better. • If it doesn’t appraise at the higher price, a buyer may not be able to secure a loan. • You may ultimately have to drop your price below market value in order to sell.
The Danger of Overpricing
As the graphic below indicates, the best offers often come when a property is newly listed - if priced too high, it’s difficult to create the momentum necessary to sell your home at the highest price in the least amount of time.
