Setting the list price for your home involves evaluating many factors including:
- Current market for homes similar to yours in price, location, condition
- How long are homes staying on the market?
- Are homes selling around their list price, over, under?
- Comparable sales in your area
- What are the important selling points of your home?
- How many comparable listings are currently on the market?
- What have comparable listings sold for recently?
- Which comparable listings in your area did not sell?
It’s not uncommon for the list price and sales price to be different. The variance between the list and actual sale price and the number of days on the market are the keys to evaluating the market analysis that we can prepare for your home.
- Your timetable for moving
The rule of thumb is the higher the price ( relative to current market value), the slower the sale. A longer time on market generally translates into a lower, not higher sales price.
Factors to consider:
If relocating, what is your timetable for selling your home and moving to your new location?
Have you found another property ?
Do you need to sell your current home in order to buy another property?
How do you feel about keeping your home available for showings? (Keeping a home in top condition and available for viewing can get tiring over a long period of time. If this is a tenant-occupied property, the rights and good will of tenants need to be considered.
