Home Pricing Mistakes
One of the biggest mistakes a seller can make is putting the wrong price tag on his or her home. Sellers tend to put a very high value on their property out of fear of losing profit, but buyers won’t even look at homes that are priced too high. There’s no fixed formula to pricing a home. Usually the market value of a house is based on comparable sales, but there are other factors that should be considered like location, market movement, demand, and the house’s condition. Don’t listen to your agent when he or she overstates your house’s value and makes you sign an overpriced listing. As a seller you will lose your competitive edge if you change your mind and reduce the price later on.
