When listing and pricing your home for sale using the right listing price is crucial to successfully selling it and for the best price possible. Right now home prices are increasing and are expected to increase by about 4% into next year. Much of this is due to the demand for homes from low inventory, but even a home priced incorrectly in a seller’s market is going to sit on the market longer than it has to or even end up selling for less money than it could have.
When trying to sell your home, you want to reach as many potential buyers as possible and provide things that would entice them to come and take a look at it. In a seller’s market, a homeowner always benefits from working with an experienced local agent to price the home just right and bring multiple buyers to the offer table.
The Dangers of Listing Too High
Many sellers naturally think that in a strong sellers’ market they can price their home on the high end because buyers are willing to pay a little more just to get into a house that they want. Higher prices bring more money to a seller’s pocket right? Not necessarily. Even during a seller’s market when there are fewer homes for sale, a high price tag can cause a buyer to look at other more reasonably priced homes. Pricing a home too high in any market can cause a home to sit longer and result in a price drop below market value to generate interest.
