Tricky Business of Pricing Your Home

Understanding the realistic value of your home is important if you’re selling and even if you’re not selling. I know your natural instinct is to ask for as much as possible when selling. Before you decide on a price, I want to help you understand why that might be a risky move. You might be thinking I’m a little crazy, but it’s true!

When looking at the value of your home, put on your buyer’s hat. If you’re looking for a home that’s priced high for the market, look at how long it's been on the market. Odds are, it’s been on the market for quite a few days and you see the price has been dropping over time. Does this make the home appealing, or does it make you a little skeptical and leave you with more questions? More questions, right? As a seller, you want to avoid questions - especially as far as price is concerned.

The true value of your home leads to a realistic price that is attractive to buyers, and it might even get you more. Before you settle on a price, take time to think about your area and your home. lick her to learn more about setting a realistic price for your home.
