Price It Right! Or, How To Avoid The Need For Reductions.

When deciding to put your home on the market   for sale , the one thing that can guarantee that your home is the one that gets sold is the price . It is also the one thing that most sellers fail to understand and, as a result, refuse to budge on when listing their home, especially in a buyer’s market.

Where you should price your home is solely determined by the market itself – the home s that are like yours that have been sold within a reasonable amount of time from the date that you wish to place your home on the market for sale. A fairly competent agent will use home s relatively just like yours in size, amenities and location (preferably within the neighborhood or in a comparable neighborhood) to provide you with an idea of where you should price your home when you are ready to list your home for sale .

You, as the seller, have control over almost every other aspect of the sale of your home by giving buyers a reason to look your home as the one that they will purchase (through curb appeal and staging), and a reason to make an offer (the price).

If the agent, or the agent’s broker, stipulates a price reduction in the listing agreement, then it isn’t priced to sell . Price it right , and there will be no need for reductions.

If you have provided buyers with an eye-appealing presentation, but are not getting the corresponding offers to match, then your price is wrong. Price it right , and there will be no need for reductions .

It really all boils down to whether you really want to sell your home . If you are serious about selling your home, then you will price it right the first time, thus avoiding the need for reductions !
