Productive Pricing in the Pascack Valley
Although many homes in the Pascack Valley are selling below asking price, the key to pricing is often appreciated by intelligent buyers. I have recently had the experience with three of my beautiful listings, where each sold either at full asking price or over asking price, in this same market where many homes are sitting on the market. The key is in pricing a home agressively, so that the buyer perceives good value, while the Seller has a comfort level that the price is fair, and not undermined by what we call "bottom feeders", those buyers who go in for the kill, and are not really educated as to what good value is.
Yes, there are homes selling at full or even above asking price, even in our current Pascack Valley Real Estate Market. The key to success is to call in a Realtor with a track record of productivity..one who has sold many homes in the current market, and understands the strategy of correct pricing. Ask how many homes the Realtor has sold in the past year.
