WHO PAYS FOR WHAT WHEN SELLING MY HOME?
The asking price you set for your home significantly affects whether you will profit in the sale, how much you will profit and how long your home will sit on the market. Your Realtor’s knowledge of the overall market and what’s selling – or not selling – will be invaluable in helping you determine the price. The objective is to find a price that the market will bear but won’t leave money on the table. Here are some points to consider:
Time. Time is not on your side when it comes to real estate. Although many factors influence the outcome, perhaps time is the biggest determinant in whether or not you see a profit and how much you profit. Studies show that the longer a house stays on the market, the less likely it is to sell for the original asking price. Therefore, if your goal is to make money, think about a price that will encourage buyer activity. At Elite we offer additional options OUTSIDE of the box that not all traditional agencies offer. Ask us about these options and see if one MAY be right for you.
Value vs. Cost. Pricing your home to sell in a timely fashion requires some objectivity. It’s important that you not confuse value with cost – in other words, how much you value your home versus what buyers are willing to pay for it. Don’t place too much emphasis on home improvements when calculating your price, because buyers may not share your taste. For example not everyone wants laminate floors or marble countertops.
Keep it simple. Because time is of the essence, make it easy for the buyers. Remain flexible on when your agent can schedule showings. Also, avoid putting contingencies on the sale. Though a desirable move-in date makes for a smoother transition between homes, it could cause you to lose the sale altogether. If you are just having trouble selling or are upside down on your home you may want to consider a SHORT SALE and settle for less than asking price OR talk to Elite about having us potentially manage your home and turn it into a money maker for you and your family. Ask us about any or all of these things because we are here to offer solutions and we want to be on your team where everyone is a winner!
