How Do I Choose the Right Listing Price for My Home?

Pricing is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when selling your home.

So how do you get it right?

Zillow and online searches show you what people want for their homes. That’s nice… but it’s not reality.

These are called comparable sales (or “comps”), and they tell us what buyers are willing to pay right now.

Even among similar homes, no two are identical.

Two homes might have the same square footage, but their value can be very different.

Next, we look at what’s on the market right now.

You don’t have to be the absolute cheapest. You just have to be the most compelling option in your price range.

Later, when you reduce the price, buyers don’t say:

Pricing correctly from Day 1 often leads to a higher net than “testing” a too-high price and then chasing it down.

Once we list, the market speaks through:

If the activity is strong but the offers are weak, that tells us one thing. If the activity is weak and quiet, that tells us something else.

The key is to listen and adjust if needed, instead of waiting months and hoping.
