Determining the best price to ask....

Once you have decided on a Realtor to represent you in the sale of your home, the next and most important decision you have, is to determine the best price to ask. Do you want the most money, in the least time and with the fewest problems? If so, a realistic asking price will help you sell your home quickly and for top dollar. By pricing your home close to market value you ensure that the difference between your asking price and the price an informed purchaser will be willing to pay is less, resulting in the greater likelihood of competing offers.

Your home will also be less likely to become stale on the market, resulting in potential purchasers questioning why it hasn't sold yet. A house that is overpriced by 10% of it's actual market value is much less likely to sell within the first 30 days than one priced within 5% of it's true value. Not only will an over-priced home take longer to sell, it is also likely to sell for less than it's actual value. This is due to the negative effect often associated with properties that have been on the market for a longer than average time.

It should be pointed out that recommended listing prices are usually based on recent sales and current market conditions. It is always difficult to walk the line between getting the most for a property while at the same time remaining competitive enough to attract serious offers. Too often we are influenced by the price we would like to get versus a more realistic price that the market will actually support.

How you feel about testing the market will determine how much higher than the current selling prices of similar homes you will wish to ask for your property. You can always start at a higher price than the market indicates and then, if necessary, reduce your price at a future date. The drawback to this is that it could take longer than usual to sell and you could end up simply helping to sell other similar homes as they may look comparably better value than yours. While in the mean time your home has become stale on the market.
