For Sellers with an over-inflated estimate of their home's value, begin your price discussion by listing items that don't always determine property value:
Homeowners' paid price | |
Amount owed on the house | |
Money needed to buy the next home | |
Neighbor's estimate of house value | |
Money invested in improvements | |
Appraisal for last refinancing | |
Price a neighbor's home sold for last year | |
Suggestions from Internet sites, such as Zillow.com |
Then, ask your clients what they're prepared to do, and give them the following choices: | |
Price your home at the top of the market and chase it down? | |
Price your home aggressively and have the opportunity for buyers to bid it up and sell it quickly? | |
Lease it out and carry the negative? |
