My Home is Not Selling - Pricing Misconceptions that Lead to Undesired Results

"My home is not selling, why?"  This is often the result of two things first being price and second that the current real estate agent is not sharing with you the appropriate market information to position in your pricing to achieve your goal of selling your home.  It is very important to price your property at competitive market value at the signing of the listing agreement.  Historically, your first offer is usually your best offer.

Here are some pricing misconceptions.

It is not what you paid!
It is not what you need!
It is not what you want!
It is not what your neighbor says!
It is not what another agent says!
It is not what it would cost to rebuild today!

Buyers and Sellers Determine Value - The value of your property is determined by what a BUYER is willing to pay and a SELLER is willing to accept in today's market.  Buyers make thier pricing decision based on comparing your property to other property SOLD in your area.

Note: With the market in a slight decline pricing your home ahead of the decline will allow you to sell your home likely a higher price than anything else around you in a quicker amount of time.
