Home For Sale Tips - Why hasn't it sold?

Price

YOU control the price of your property based on the recommendation of your agent. After that initial period, the only people to look at your property will be new buyers to the market place.

Obstacles to proper pricing include:

  • Incompetent agents
  • Neighbours leading you to believe they received more for their property than they actually did
  • Inflationary times
  • Recessionary times
  • Fear
  • Emotional attachment

Overpricing at this critical time will result in:

  • Reduced sales activity: Buyers will not look if they feel it is priced too high
  • Reduced advertising responses: Potential buyers will be looking for certain types of property in a price range
  • Losing interested buyers: They will feel they should be getting more for the price
  • Attracting the Wrong Prospects - They will be comparing it with properties that really are higher priced property
  • Eliminating offers: Buyers make offers based on what properties are available to them
  • Helping the competition: A high-priced property makes the others look better
