Selling your home – how do you set your price?

It’s the first day of spring, and a good time to plant that For Sale sign in the yard. Selling your home wasn’t a snap decision, and you’ve thought long and hard about your next move, but there’s one thing left to do – name your price. Do you list high to ward off tire-kickers, or list low in the hopes of a bidding war? What determines your price anyway?

Obtaining the help of a seasoned real estate agent (like me, Sandy Luedke!) will go a long way in getting you and your home prepared for that winning offer. Here are some questions you should ask your realtor, and they should have a ready answer for you:

• What is the difference between list and sales prices?
• What are the two most important factors when selling a home?
• When is the best time to buy?
• What is the difference between market value and appraised value?
• What is the difference between list price, sales price and appraised value?
• How does someone sell a slow mover?
• How is the price set?
• What are the standard ways of finding out how much a home is worth?
• How do you prepare a house to sell?
• Where do I get information on housing market stats?
• How do I handle a low offer?

Answers to these questions and more are also available on Ideal Real Estate Group’s Resource Page for Home Sellers, in the article titled Pricing to Sell.
