I'm doubtful there is a "blogging" real estate agent out there who has never blogged about the importance of proper pricing when it comes to selling your house. It is the key to getting to the closing table -- no pun intended.
If you are truly committed to selling your house, you must listen to what your Realtor® is telling you when it comes to pricing your house compellingly in this or any market.
Buyers buy by comparison. And right now, in most markets, they have a lot of comparing to do. You hire us for our expertise and for the tools we have available to us to help you get your house sold and move on to the next chapter as quickly as possible.
Part of our job is to sift through the pricing data and help you understand where your house needs to priced. Being faced with the news that you may need to consider a price reduction is never easy -- doesn't matter why you're selling. It's just not a fun part of the process.
But getting that price where it needs to be will generate an offer. Maybe even two.
Don't believe me? Ask two of my sellers who reluctantly adjusted the prices on their respective homes in the past few weeks. One is just a few days from sitting at the closing table, and the other is in the middle of negotiations with a well-qualified buyer.
Price your house to sell -- not sit.
