Regarding Home Pricing

By Joi Boehle


Just last week, the 30-year fixed interest rate went even further to decrease in a rate of 4.27%. This is certainly prompting many people to consider placing their homes on the market and this is for them to invest in a new home for themselves. The need for you to price is one of the most important things to determine BEFORE placing your home on the market. The risk for your home to stay in the market for a longer period of time is possible if you have a very high price.

When pricing your home to sell, there are several things to keep in mind, and this is accorded to our very own Keller Williams Realty Northeast real estate agents. In your area, you need to do some research on the homes sold out recently, one that is having the same size and that offer similar amenities as yours. For instance where you really want to sell your home quickly, then provide a price that is slightly below the market value. You have to run the risk of having to lower your price in 30 days, after the fact that you have priced it too high because of unrealistically thinking that your home should be considered much higher in value; and this because you aren't getting any interest at the higher price point. There should be a realistic price from the start of the process. Actually, you may end up with a better sales price rather than, having a price that is higher and the need to reduce it. The buyers may probably think that there's something wrong the moment they knew that the home is reduced in price.

A good sales price can also be decided by simply attending to open houses in your area. You will have a much better idea of how your home compares, if you go inside a home. Recognizing how other homes are being presented to buyers, can also be known if you attend to open houses. Having this will enable you to get an idea on how your home to sell can be presented.

The Updated appliances and other features can help you get a higher price for your house. For instance where you see some repair projects that you have put off, consider now to be the time to fix them. Even the minor repairs can make a big difference in creating a buyer's impression. Often times, after your buyers have known some small issues on your home, then they will even wonder what bigger problems may lurk below the surface. Afterwards, the value seen for your home is reduced.

Finally; you should not make your sales price too "personal". Just because you paid X amount of dollars or owe X amount of dollars, then it doesn't mean that it is what you will actually get for your home. Pricing your home on the basis on what is happening with the real estate market is much more important.
