Why do sellers like to list their homes at a much higher price than recommended by agents?

Why do sellers list their homes at a much higher price than recommended by their agent ?

Here are a few reasons :

1. " We can always reduce the price later "

2."We need the money to buy our next house."

3."Our neighbors got so much, our house is much better than theirs"

4."We paid xx dollars and should get more than what we paid."

5."We spent xx dollars on upgrades. example :We paid 300K and spent 100k in upgrades.We should get $400k"

Have you been able to show comps and get sellers to price their home according to the market ? Do you walk away from a listing sometimes ?

I hope sellers will read this post and the comments from other experts so they can be realistic when they list their home.

Four Signs that Real Estate Market is improving.

11-27-09
GITA BANTWAL, REALTOR BUCKS COUNTY, PA HOMES

Realtors do not have to wait for media reports to see signs of a recovery. We see the signs of recovery in our market before it is reported.

Here are Four signs of recovery :

1. The phone starts to ring . ( not from telemarketers, but from consumers looking to buy or sell a home )

2.There are many 'pending sale' signs in the yards

3. The inventory of homes for sale is decreasing .and there are fewer homes that have price reductions.

4.Buyers lose out on homes because someone else put an offer by the time your buyers decided to buy or there are multiple offers.

I have experienced # 4 myself. I hope they will have better luck next time they make an offer.

Our market is improving. I hope the same is happening in the rest of the country.

This is time of year when we are looking for gift ideas and a gift certificate to a restaurant is always appreciated.

We can use these for closing gifts, gifts to clients and to family and friends.

go to www.restaurants.com

You get great discounts. There maybe restrictions at some restaurants.

Another good option is to give Entertainment books. Realtors can buy them at discount.

Free site to post your rental listing.

I came across a free site where you can post a rental listing.

It is www.rentalads.com

If you want to post many listings then you may want to go for the paid version. But if you do rentals occasionally , this is a great site.

The listings are optimized so you get included in google, yahoo and msn seraches.You get to upload a photo of the listing. There are resorces for tenants.

I have a couple of listings so I am going to try one and then delete after a week and try another. Unless the system lets me post both for free.

Ofcourse I still use Craigslist.
