In an ideal world, your home would sell the same week that it is listed on the local real estate market, but this is not an ideal world. The question arises, “how do I ensure that my home is competitive?” There are a few basic things that one needs to do to make sure their home gets noticed first, gets viewed first, and logically, sells first.
Deciding on a Price for Your Home
When it comes time to put your house on the market, pricing can make or break your sale. If you overprice your home, you risk watching it languish on the market, but under-pricing it means minimizing your investment. The starting point for pricing should be based on recent sales in the neighborhood, not on personal attachment.
