Pricing Your Home For Sale

The Washington Post recently published these tips for selling your home and pricing it to sell. Pricing Your Home: Here are some tips on how to price a home you're selling. * Don't base the price on what you paid or what your neighbor got a few years ago. * Do examine the prices of homes for sale in your neighborhood, as well as the prices of comparable homes that have sold in the past three to six months. * Don't pick an agent simply because he or she suggested the highest list price. * Do pick an agent who offers a thoughtful explanation for the price he or she is suggesting. * Don't set your price based on emotional attachments and cherished memories. * Do ask your agent to reassess the competitive landscape every few weeks to make sure your asking price is in sync with the market. * Don't be stubborn. If weeks go by without any offers, the price most likely does not reflect the value of the home. It's time to consider cutting the price. * Do be patient. You might have to wait longer for buyers to pull their money together now that lenders have toughened their standards. Stop right there!
