Pricing it realistically at the outset simply increases the likelihood of a timely sale with less inconvenience and greater monetary return.
Competition: Buyers educate themselves by viewing many homes. They know what is a fair price. If your home is not competitive in value with those they have seen, it will not sell. Buyers typically look at homes within a $10,000 price range. If your home is not priced within the correct range, it very likely will not be exposed to its potential or targeted buyers.
Perception: Overpricing causes most homes to remain on the market too long. Buyers, aware of a long exposure period are often hesitant to make an offer because they fear something is wrong with the house. Often homes that are on the market for a long time eventually sell for less than their fair market value.
Inconvenience If overpricing keeps your home from selling properly, you can end up owning two homes – the one you’ve already purchase and the one you’re trying to sell. This can prove costly and worrisome, as well as inconvenient.
Pricing Tip: 80% of the Marketing of your home is done the night you decide at what price to list your home. |
