There are several factors that attract a Buyer to your house:
1.  Location - If 100 Buyers are looking for a house - the first thing they look at is the location.  Each Buyer has his / her own needs, likes and dislikes.  What suits one might not necessarily suit someone else.
2.  Price - Yes, the price is a second most important factor.  If Buyers can't afford a home even though its in the right location - they will not be able to purchase it.  So, price it right.  Over pricing will deter many potential Buyers.  If they are looking … (0 comments)

Pricing your home - Orleans - 04/03/10 08:50 AM
Interesting story.  Divorce situation owners need to sell and they select a friend of the family to represent them in the sale of their home. 
Nice 4 bedroom, double garage, hardwood flooring, painted in neutral colours, ceramic flooring in foyer and kitchen, granite counter tops in kitchen and all 4 bathrooms.  Huge and I mean huge master bedroom with a four piece ensuite.  A beautiful home but they need to sell.  They want XXXX for the property -  a bit much  but still doable.  The agent received 1 offer and it didn't go anywhere because they absolutely wanted the asking price.  … (2 comments)
