DYNAMIC DECISIONS

MARKET VALUE

SIZE

CONDITION

We will decide together which strategy works best for your goals. Data Driven Strategy This is when we price your house as close to where the data suggests by basing the pricing decision on a Comparable Market Analysis or appraisal. This approach will best ensure that the property qualifies for a mortgage and that buyers will consider the price to be realistic. This is the most commonly used option. Competitive Strategy We would choose this strategy to price your house lower than the data would support which would be ideal for those wanting a fast sale or hoping to create competition. This places more importance on a lifestyle change than the economics of the transaction. Retail Strategy When time is not a factor, this strategy can come into play. Adding a negotiation cushion in anticipation that many buyers will automatically seek to negotiate down the sales price.


DANGERS OF OVERPRICING THE DANGER OF OVERPRICING Broker and buyer interest is at its highest within the first few days of being placed on the market and having a competitive price is crucial! The majority of buyers will visit your house within the first two weeks. These buyers are already familiar with properties previously on the market, are prequalified and ready to make an offer and are knowledgeable about market prices. AN ASKING PRICE THAT IS BEYOND MARKET RANGE CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT THE

ACTIVITY

MARKETING OF A PROPERTY • Marketing time is prolonged and initial marketing momentum is lost • Fewer buyers will be attracted and fewer offers received • The property attracts “lookers” and helps competing houses look better by comparison • If a property does sell above true market value, it may not appraise and the buyers may not be able to secure a loan • The property may eventually sell below market value
