Pricing Your Home
Pricing your home is both an art and a science. Pricing your home correctly is a critical component of the home selling process. If you list your property too high, you risk deterring potential buyers and prolonging the selling process. Conversely, pricing too low could result in leaving money on the table and not maximizing your return on investment.
The Role of a Real Estate Agent in Pricing
Provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA), a comparison of the prices of recently sold homes that are similar in terms of location, style, and amenities. A CMA is performed by comparing previously sold homes in the area, and currently active homes to know your competition.
- There is no "exact price" for real estate.
- We don't tell you what we think your home is "worth".
- The market determines value…together we determine the price.
- You determine the price based on the factors you control:
- Marketing time
- Financing alternatives provided
- Condition
- Exposure method
- Keep in touch with market trends and keep up to date with market activity of comparable homes.
- Estimate your net proceeds.
- Help to determine offering incentives.
An agent has NO control over the market, only the marketing plan. And ours is top-notch.
