Factors That Affect Your Home’s Sale
There are three main factors that determine how quickly your home will sell…. price, condition, and time.
Price – If your home is priced too high, you must be willing to wait much longer for your home to sell. Either it will take that much longer to find someone to pay what you’re asking, or the market will eventually catch up to the asking price of the home through inflation. The latter could possibly take several years or more!
Condition – If you’re looking to get top-dollar and sell your home fast, it must be move-in ready and updated. In today’s busy world, more and more buyers are willing to pay a premium for homes that require no repairs or updates when they move in. If you’re uncertain about what you need to do to get your home in the right condition to sell, give us a call and we’ll be happy to give you some suggestions.
Time – If you need to sell your home in a short period of time, then you must be willing to price your home aggressively.
How Much Should You Ask for Your Home?
Of course, you want to get the full market value for your home. The first step to getting the best price is to determine your home’s value. Our team of experts helps you set an appropriate asking price by taking the following factors into consideration:
- Your home’s value may depend on the recent sales prices and current list prices of comparable homes in your area. After reviewing these prices for such homes, your price can be properly adjusted according to current market trends.
- Buyers tend to look in the price range determined by their monthly budget. They are often very knowledgeable about the homes in their price range and purchase one by comparison. Above-market asking prices tend to be an immediate turnoff and will turn away most buyers.
- Inviting a potential buyer to make an offer shows that you are willing to negotiate. However, if your asking price is too high, then the buyer may not see the point in even making an offer and moving on to another property.
- It’s necessary to offer pricing, terms, and conditions that are competitive in your market. This will help you sell faster and for more money.
