What to Avoid when Pricing your Lakeland Fl Home to Sell

 

Pricing your Lakeland FL Home to SellPricing your Lakeland Fl home to sell plays a key role in the salability and quickness to sell of your home. One of the most serious mistakes a seller does is to set the listing price much higher as they list their homes in Lakeland, Fl for sale. Your high priced home won’t sell to its market; possibly not even attract any showings, or any offers.

 

The moment you put your home up in the market, buyers will start to scout your home and your neighborhood. But a smart buyer’s agent will definitely not get your high priced Lakeland Fl home sold. A buyer’s agent presents their buyer with a realistic market analysis to come up with an offer price.

 

Even if  the 10 quick steps to spruce up your Lakeland Fl home can help when showing your home, the pricing is still the primary component to get your Lakeland, FL homes for sale ready for its potential buyers and sold sooner.

 

65% of Lakeland FL Homes are sold as short sales or foreclosures so regular home sellers should know how to compete properly with distressed properties in the market. When selling your home in Lakeland FL, remarks like the following won’t help in the marketability of your home:

 

·         I can discount the price later
·         It’s not new for buyers to offer lesser anyways
·         I want to observe what happens first
·         The property listed next to my house is priced much higher
·         My home looks better compared to the house down the street

 

Overly priced Lakeland FL homes that are up in the market with a Real Estate agent for sale only have a small chance of being sold. This is because some of the agents would take as much listing as they can and promise to sell the property. But in reality, your Lakeland FL home will remain in the market due to the agent’s failure to provide a comparable market analysis or sometimes some home sellers will make their own market analysis which may result to a wrong pricing, opposed to the Realtor® advice.
