HOW TO PRICE YOUR HOME FOR SALE IN COEUR D’ ALENE: WHAT’S MY HOUSE WORTH?
Properly pricing your home is the most crucial factor in making a sale.
Although you set the asking price, buyers ultimately determine the value. They’ll compare your home and your asking price to similar homes on the market. If your price doesn’t stack up, they may discard it and move on to the next listing, it can happen that fast!
The longer your property sits on the market, the less marketable it becomes because buyers start to speculate if something is wrong with it. Pricing your home too high may increase the time your home sits on the market. And inevitably studies show, the longer it sits, the lower the sold price.
The “right” price is a balance between three things:
- The maximum amount the current housing market will allow
- Your “competition”
- Your own time limits in selling
