Home Selling Tips:
How to price your home:
Homes that don't sell, assuming home has been prepared to sell, are generally overpriced. In today's buyer's market prospective buyers will only buy a home that gives them the best value for their money. The number of homes for pending sale and/or foreclosures in your neighborhood will drive you home's price down even further. Here is what you will need:
1) Research comparable homes sold
2) Look at where your neighborhood is headed. You need to understand the market trend head of others so that you are not chasing the market.
3) Research how many days homes remain on the market in your area.
4) Get a Realtor's Opinion
5) Avoid pricing traps like pricing based on CAD. The Central Appraisal District has not accounted for the steep decline in prices in the last 18 months. Another pricing error is basing on insurance replacement cost because that estimate is what is would cost to rebuild the home and not what the home is worth on today's market. Finally, understand that all homes have different values based on a various improvements.
