Pricing Your Home For A Fast Sale
Selecting the right asking price for your home can be tricky. Your realtor will offer an opinion, and you might find several other resources on the Internet which guide you to a certain number. And then there is the number that you feel is fair and will meet your financial needs. But finding the right blend of all of this information can be difficult.
The Comps
Everyone has watched a TV show and heard that the comps in the area will determine the asking price for a given house. This just means that the homes in the areas which are similar to your home have sold within this certain range. And though this is a good gauge to know the market, it does not mean that your home will sell for that dollar figure. Comps should be seen as a guideline as your home might have newer features or be more outdated which will have an impact on the sale price.
The Current Market
These are the homes that are your direct competition. From the current listings, you can learn what is sitting on the market and what is moving quickly. This could be a certain style of home that is more popular or a specific price range that is attracting attention. The current market will also tell you the average length of time required to sell a home.
Make Repairs or Don’t Repair?
Most often, realtors will suggest that you make the needed repairs before you put your home on the market. But in many cases that is not the best advice. A newly repaired or renovated home is easier for the realtor to sell and should fetch a higher price which will mean a higher commission for the realtor. But all too often, the return on investment does not come close to what the seller spent on the repairs.
