Deciding to put your home on the market is a big decision. And it cannot be stressed enough how important it is to price your property correctly from the beginning of the process.

Positioning Your Home

on the Market

Recognizing

Key Market Factors

We do not control: Location Competition Market Conditions

We can control: Condition of the house Terms Price

The 80/20 Rule

There are two major factors in selling your home:

Pricing Your Property

Determining price is the most critical step in preparing your home for sale, so you can get the highest return in the least amount of time.

Pricing Your Property Pricing strategy depends on market conditions

Best exposure during the first 3 to 5 weeks

Well-priced homes sell quickly

The longer a home is on the market, the lower the selling price

The “right” price attracts qualified buyers

Overpricing a property loses buyers that are looking and are ready to purchase at the “right” price

Increase Marketability
