Setting the Price of a home for sale

Setting the Price

I will assist you in setting the listing price for your home. We do not price our listings in the traditional way that some realtors are doing. We will be glad to discuss that with you in detail when we sit down with you and discuss the listing price.

Remember, the price is the first thing buyers notice about your property. If you set your price too high, then the chance of alienating buyers is higher. You want your house to be taken seriously, and the asking price reflects how serious you are about selling your home.

Several factors will contribute to your final decision. First, you should compare your house to others that are in the market. If you would like us to we will complete and review with you a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA). The CMA will reflect the following:
*houses in your price range and area sold within the last half-year
*asking and selling prices of houses
*current inventory of houses on the market
*features of each house on the market

From the CMA, you will find out the difference between the asking price and selling price for all homes sold, the condition of the market, and other houses comparable to yours.

Also, try to find out what types of houses are selling and see if it applies to your area. Buyers follow trends, and these trends can help you set your price.

Always be realistic. And understand and set your price to reflect the current market situation.
