I am reading a book by Joel Osteen called Become a Better You.  An excellent book with some wonderful admonitions, for sure!  Near the end of the book he tells of his father stating he would rather shoot high and miss than aim low and  hit the target. Good advice, for sure!

In real estate, especially the Viera Suntree and Rockledge Florida market, if you are a seller, aiming high will not work if you are looking to sell.

Homes in Brevard County seem to be selling for about 93% of the list price.  Buyers expect some negotiation.  But... if you price your property correctly initially your potential buyers will know that. At least they will if their real estate agent is knowledeable of the market!

If you are considering  selling your Viera or Rockledge home  please feel free to give me a call. I would welcome a chance to discuss my marketing plan and what I honestly believe your house will sell for in this current market.

The difference between an old listing and sold2 is getting the price right early!

Joel Osteen's an excellent motivator. Good for you, to be taking steps to better yourself and your business. Our pastor liked one of Joel's first books. I can't remember which one it was.

I think even sellers are starting to "get it". That mentality of starting high and then reducing is getting old!

Aiming high is good; pricing high, not so good!  Pricing right takes market knowledge.

I haven't read any of Joel Olsteen's books yet, but I am curious to see what all the fuss is about!

Richard - Osteen's books are informative and positive - not hardcore "preaching!" Thanks

Hi Gary  I love Joel Osteen,  he is remarkable, inpirational motivator.  He has gifted his viewers and readers with the hope we need for todays culture. 

I find on the price ..some of these sellers would rather withdraw their listings and wait it out.  They are not reducing to where the price should be.  Although I must say .. the market here is very low to start with.
