Portsmouth NH Homes - Pricing To Sell

Portsmouth New Hampshire Homes

Are you a Portsmouth NH homeowner thinking about selling in today's market?

Make no mistake about it, we're in a challenging market, and it takes far more effort today to get a home or condo sold. It's tough in this market - make sure you're ready!

We live in the age of the Internet, and proof of that is in the fact that roughly 85% of buyers today begin their search on-line. EIGHTY-FIVE percent - that's a HUGE change from just a few short years ago. That fact alone demands a completely different method for sellers and their agents.

If you're already on the market for sale, no doubt you're already experiencing some of the challenges today, including finding the magic price to cause your house to actually sell. The biggest mistake sellers are making in this market is pricing their homes or condos too high for today's market. If you've already adjusted your price, you know the frustrations of dealing with pricing issues.

As a seller, you typically get your greatest exposure during the first few weeks that your home or condo is on the market. Those buyers who are already in the market will be waiting for new listings to come up for sale, and their agents will be watching as well. If your home is perceived to be priced correctly, you should experience some good activity during those first 2-3 weeks.




Are you getting some showings and yet no offers are coming in? That's usually an indication from buyers and their agents that they feel your home or condo is priced too high for the market.

When buyers see properties they feel are overpriced, they just move on to the next property. Buyers today have plenty of choices, unlike what they had for several years with no choices. And because of that, buyers have options, one of which is to pass by properties they don't perceive to be priced right.

When putting your Portsmouth NH homes or condos on the market for sale, your primary goal is to have your home or condo sell quickly. And to do that, you need to garner the buyers' attention during those first 2-3 weeks that your home will be on the market. You won't accomplish that goal if you believe you can test the market at a higher price, thinking you can just lower it later on. The only thing that will do is cause buyers to pass right on by, likely without even physically looking at your home or condo.

Price your home to sell while it's getting the most interest as a new listing is crucial to reaching your goal of selling.
