Today, we’re going to discuss an important topic: how to price your home. Pricing your home correctly is crucial as it can make or break the sale. When determining the price, there are several key factors to consider:
1. Be realistic and in tune with the market. The real estate market is constantly changing, even in the current seller’s market. It’s important not to let emotions cloud your judgment when pricing your home. While it’s natural to have an emotional attachment to your home due to the memories and experiences associated with it, making pricing decisions solely based on emotions can be detrimental.
2. Avoid overpricing. Setting an excessively high price can discourage potential buyers from even considering your home. Overpriced homes often receive less interest and fewer showings, limiting your pool of potential buyers. While some sellers may think that overpricing gives them room for negotiation, it can actually deter more buyers and reduce your chances of receiving competitive offers.

3. Examine similar homes in your area. Comparables, or similar properties that have recently sold, provide valuable insights into market trends and prices. It’s essential to look beyond just your immediate neighborhood and consider homes within a half-mile to a mile radius that have sold within the past six months.
A knowledgeable real estate professional with expertise in the local market can be instrumental in guiding you through this process. They can provide insights into current pending homes and properties currently on the market, helping you gauge market trends and pricing strategies.
