PRICE TO SELL!
by
Susan L.
Green
Choosing the right list price to ask for your home saves you
time and money in many cases.
How do you determine the correct list price at the outset?
Since all of us want to get the very last dollar for our house
we may start too high and work down. Is that bad? The answer
is YES!
First, you get the most attention when you initially list your
house for sale. Buyers and salespeople are conditioned to
look at new listings and the good listings are personally inspected.
If your house comes on the market at too high a
list price, some salespeople and buyers may simply forget
about it.
List price reductions, while effective, do not have the same
impact on salespeople or potential buyers. They will only
sit up and take notice when your list price falls to or below
market-exactly the opposite of your goal.
At the same time, going through several list price reductions
means your house is on the market for a longer period
of time. And the longer it is on the market, the longer your
plans are delayed or the higher your carrying charges are.
And this means you may lower your price further to get
action.
So it all boils down to getting the initial price at just above
market. This is one place where experienced salespeople
earn their keep. When listing your house, get the salesperson
to suggest a list price and don’t just accept his word.
Ask for a market analysis showing recent comparable sales
and current listings on the market. Current listings are competing
against you for buyers. Even looking at expired listings
isn’t such a bad idea. It will show you where you may
end up with a wrong pricing decision.
Your Coldwell Banker M.B. Green Realty professional can
help you make the right decision.
