Pricing Your Home To Sell

The best buyers currently in the market for your home will most likely be the first to inspect. Most people who are looking for a new home view around 20 properties and know true market value, so they will reject your home if it is priced above their expectations. And because they will have already made their judgment, it is very unlikely that they will revisit weeks later to buy. During the first 2-3 weeks of marketing is when your property will attract the greatest number of genuine, motivated buyers. If it is priced correctly, this is when you will have the best opportunity of selling at the best possible figure because your home will compare well with the competition. It can be tempting to list with a consultant who promises you the highest price for your home. Just be aware that if this figure is unrealistic, it can result in your home being on the market for a long time. And when it does eventually sell, it will often fetch well below its realistic market value.
