The Fundamentals of Fair Pricing If You Price Your Home at Fair Market Value You W ill See Good Act ivit y and a Good Amount of Buyer Int erest Accor ding t o t he Nat ional Associat ion of Realt or s, ?A home?s Fair M ar ket Value is t he pr ice it would sell f or in a per f ect ly logical wor ld? one wher e bot h buyer and seller ar e act ing of t heir own f r ee will, ar e r easonably awar e of a home?s good and bad point s, and could just as easily choose a dif f er ent house t hat suit s t heir needs bet t er ?.
The higher you go above Fair M ar ket Value t he f ewer showings you will have. If you pr ice aggr essively, below Fair M ar ket Value, you will get an incr ease in showings, and may end up r eceiving mult iple of f er s wit h buyer s t r ying t o out bid each ot her f or your home.

The Risks of Pricing Too High
?Test ing t he M ar ket ? Risks a Longer Per iod on t he M ar ket , and Low er Selling Pr ices
Sellers may want to test the market and price their home high in the beginning. Over pr icing is t he single biggest mist ake a seller can make, especially since t he height of showing act ivit y is when a home is f ir st list ed.
When a home is overpriced, it sits on the market while other comparable homes are selling. The longer it is on t he mar ket , t he less int er est is generat ed, and t he less buyer s will f eel t hey have t o pay. This can make t he home owner anxious, and f eel pr essur ed t o dr op t he pr ice below t he asking pr ice of compet ing pr oper t ies.

Why Your First Offer is Often Your Best Offer
Another common mistake Sellers make is to disregard the first offer they receive. Of t en, if t hey r eceive an of f er quickly, t hey get over conf ident and t hink maybe t hey could do bet t er if t hey wait f or anot her buyer. Rar ely is t hat t he case. W hen you f ir st list your home f or sale, New Buyers and Buyer s who ar e Waiting for the Right Fit will come see your home. So it is possible, if pr iced at Fair M ar ket Value, t hat you could get a good of f er r ight away. Af t er t ime goes on, and pr icing comes down, you t hen at t ract t he Deal Makers.
