A recent trend is would be home sellers to ask more for their homes than they are worth to get a higher sales price. The media tells them there is a shortage of listings. They say values are rising. Here in the Manchester NH area another trend is agents willing to give higher values just to get the listing.
In the end it is the home seller that loses. Often the home goes unsold. Few buyers want to look at over priced homes. More than half of the sellers I meet ask if they can increase the asking price when i let them know what the value of their home is in today's market.
I like to let them know within 2 weeks, of listing, if there is a combination of few showings and or no offers, then the price needs to be reduced to what market value is. Listing a home costs money and time for the seller. Getting the highest price for the seller at the best terms and quickest time is always our goal. The seller needs to work with and not against their listing agent.
The MOST IMPORTANT message is to share is that my philosophy is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest.
