What's The Difference Between List Price and Selling Price On The North Shore Of Long Island?

Here's another Frequently Asked Question we are asked from Sellers on The North Shore Of Long Island...
 

What Is The Difference Between List Price And Selling Price?

 

When you decide to put your North Shore Of Long Island house on the market for sale, you maybe trying to figure out what the property might be worth in today's current market.

List Price

The list price is the price you list your house for when you and your North Shore Realtor decide what the right price should be to put it on the market.

This price is an estimate and may change during the listing if your house is not getting activity or if the values have changed in your marketplace. However, just because you list your house on The North Shore Of Long Island for a specific price, does not mean it is worth that amount. A list price can be a valuable tool when pricing your home, especially if you look at recent sales in your area and compare their initial listing price with their final sale prices.

Sale Price

What your house sells for on The North Shore Of Long Island is the final SALE price. This is the price that a ready and willing buyer paid for the property.

While the house may have been marketed for a certain price, the amount it actually sells for is usually different, especially in a buyers market. The difference between a home’s listing price and selling price is often an indication of the state of the real estate market in your area.  A large difference between listing and selling price may mean that it wasn't priced for the current market conditions, and a smaller range may mean the house was priced correctly.

Larry and Sheila, great explanation of list versus sales price.    Around here homes are going pretty fast, and the ratio is 97 or 98%!

Great explaination between list and sales price. Depending on the neighborhood in Manhattan, many sellers knows how to priced to sell according to the most recent comparables so the gap between the two are very close.

Clearly put and needed information, Larry and Sheila. That's why the solds are really the relevant factor in the CMA.

Those are great points.

Many times you see homes that are not selling, because they are overpriced or in bad condition.

Sheila and Larry,

This is another good explanation for homeowners who are thinking about selling their home.  Yes, the difference between the sale price and list price is a good indication of market conditions.   But if I was a LI homeowner, I'd just invite you  two over for LI Pizza and just ask 'Where do I sign?'
