Would you spend $175. to save $25,000 or more?

What’s a better investment for home sellers? Spending a little time and money before listing their home or waiting to see if it’s going to take a price reduction to get it sold?

I did some research on the local market here in Santa Fe, New Mexico. (see the chart below) but you can use this wonderful Trulia chart to understand where your local market is in terms of days on market before a price reduction occurs. It's a powerful reminder of how much it costs when your home sits unsold.

For example:
The average price reduction in Santa Fe is 5-10%.  In the 87508 zip code, homes are on market an average of 83 days before price is reduced by 5%. A home priced at $500K then has an average price reduction of $25,000. If that doesn't move the home, then there is a 35% chance it will need an other price reduction.

So the bottom line? Try to avoid letting an unprepared home sit on the market. Staging a home for sale is the smart move.
