How do I price my property to sell?

I have a strong understanding of the market conditions, and will determine a competitive price for your home that encourages agents to choose your property to show, serious buyers to make serious offers, and banks to appraise it at the price agreed upon.

  • Serious buyers look in the price range that has been predetermined by their bank. Unless your property is priced correctly, the down payment and monthly payment requirements will not match up with what the buyer can afford.
  • Buyers in our current market are rapidly becoming very knowledgeable to what is fairly priced. An unreasonable asking price only discourages them from considering your property.
  • Buyers purchase by comparison, and a property priced above other competitive homes does not compare favorably. Inviting a buyer to make an offer could indicate that a fair price has not been set.
  • It is very difficult to expect a reasonable offer on an overpriced home. The buyer usually feels that they have to be equally unreasonable in their offer to the seller.
  • By contrast, it is much easier to accept offers on a reasonably priced property. You can then choose which offer to accept and reject those which do not meet your requirements.
  • It is a mistake to believe that you will get more for your property if you ask more. You will usually get less because fewer buyers will consider it. The right buyers will not see it and it will usually remain on the market longer than usual to where it becomes stale.
  • To obtain proper market exposure, it is imperative that we price your home competitively based on the same terms, conditions, and price of other homes in your area.
  • If you are already of the mindset to adjust your price or terms at the time of negotiation, why not do so right now and attract serious buyers?
