HOW MUCH IS YOUR PROPERTY WORTH?
PRICING A PROPERTY REALISTICALLY AT A MARKET RELATED PRICE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR A SUCCESSFUL SALE
PRICE IS THE MAIN NEGOTIATING FACTOR FOR YOUR BUYER. YOUR PROPERTY IS NOT WORTH;
- What you paid for it
- What you will pay for your next home
- What you want for it
- What another agent says it’s worth
- What we say it’s worth
- What an appraiser says it’s worth
- Not worth what the municipal valuation states
- Not worth what you’re insurance value states
BUYERS ALWAYS DETERMINE THE VALUE
BEWARE OF OVER-VALUATION!
- Unrealistic pricing results in under-exposure and prospective buyers are quickly lost.
- If you are receiving little or no interest in your property, there is a good chance that your price is too high with the danger being that your property may become 'stale'
- Banks don’t find value & your deal will collapse
IS YOUR FIRST OFFER YOUR BEST OFFER?
Occasionally a house is sold within a few days of listing. A master agent will have a genuine buyer database and you may suddenly receive an offer before your marketing campaign even begins.
This could make the seller wonder if this is the true market price. Such early offers have often been turned down by sellers who eventually have to sell for significantly less because the first offer cannot be matched again.
If you are faced with an instant offer don't jump to the conclusion that your property is under- priced, your agent will have been working with your buyer for weeks or months to find ‘just the Right home’ for them.
REMEMBER : YOUR FIRST OFFER IS GENERALLY YOUR BEST OFFER ! ! !
