Speed up your Sale - Price Haircut

                                                                   "Price Haircut" May Speed Up Sale

The right price sells a home faster than any other factor. When the listing price is more than 5% over market, price alone discourages buyers. An overpriced home--especially in a sluggish market--scares away potential buyers, who think they can't afford to look. Buyers who look know they can get more home for their money elsewhere.

Most sellers need to sell first before buying. Buyers today know there are some deeply discounted bargains on the market--from expired listings, pre-foreclosures and short sales, to builder close-outs, relocating families and investor sell-offs.
One savvy seller strategy in today's market is to give your home a "price haircut" with a price up to 10% below the competition. That price primes the pump and attracts offers--allowing you to be a cash buyer.

 With careful homework, you'll be in position to buy your next home--perhaps at an even more favorably discounted price with smart shopping.

Good advice for the Sellers. Are Sellers willing to do a "Price Haircut" as much as 10% in today's market?

Good Post!

Thanks Don,

I have been using this for the past few months with my clients and it helps them understand the market and to my surprise they are very willing to listen and work with me in getting their home sold

Michael- They are very willing. I have some homes with over 30 showings and just sitting.. I am beginning to get the message across & seeing offers again.
