Why It’s Important to Price Your House Right Today

By
Real Estate Agent with TOP SELLING REALTY Lic. # SL3154233

Even in today’s sellers’ market, setting the right price for your house is one of the most valuable things you can do. According to the U.S. Economic Outlook by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), existing home prices nationwide are forecasted to increase by 4.5% in 2021. This means experts anticipate home values will continue climbing next year. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist for realtor.com, notes:

“We expect price gains to ease somewhat in 2021 and end 5.7% above 2020 levels, decelerating steadily through the spring and summer, and then gradually reaccelerating toward the end of the year.”

It’s important to make sure your house is priced correctly by working with a trusted real estate professional throughout the process. When you price it competitively from the start, you won’t be negotiating with one buyer. Instead, you’ll likely have multiple buyers competing for the house, potentially increasing the final sale price.

The key is to make sure your house is priced to sell immediately. This way, it will be seen by the greatest number of buyers. More than one of them may be interested, and it will be more likely to sell at a competitive price.

Bottom Line

Reach out to a local real estate professional: Abby Stiller to price your house correctly from the start so you can maximize your exposure and your return.

I just saw an example of this yesterday, a home priced too high and it is just sitting on the market when everything around it is selling.

Good morning, Abby Stiller I'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter what type of market an agent is working through, it's ALL ABOUT THE PRICE.... buyers know what homes are worth from seeing the marketplace.... sellers must listen to their listing agents for guidance....

Abby, what a great post today!   If you don't price it right, then you could have appraisal issues, and getting closer to closing, with not as many options!
