Determining Price

                                                                
Before you put your home up for sale, you must set the price. And before you can do that, you must know what the house is worth. That doesn't mean what you paid for it, or how you upgraded it. Determining worth is simply finding out what someone would pay for it.

The steps in determining worth are:  

1. Understanding the MARKET CONDITIONS
2. Researching the details about recent sales in your neighbourhood and then comparing these homes with yours. RE/MAX agents have access to all of this information. Plus, they can objectively see the big picture and tell you what makes your home unique.

Once you've determined you home's worth, you and your agent will determine the asking price. Most often, the price of a home is set slightly higher than its worth, to give a little "bargaining space." Of course, if it is set too high, it may deter prospective buyers.

If you're in a rush to sell your home, setting the asking price a little lower than what your home is worth will attract a lot of attention. But beware, if the price sounds too good to be true, buyers may be skeptical. They may even offer less than the asking price anticipating problems with the home down the road.

 
 Determining Value
 


How Do You Assess Your Home's Value

Market value IS NOT:
  • How much you want to get out of it
  • How much money you have in it
  • How much it is appraised for
  • How much it is insured for
  • How much you want
  • How much it is assessed for
  • How many memories and experiences you’ve had in it
Real market value IS:
  • Based on market conditions today
  • Based on its location
  • Based on the condition it is in
  • Based on financing
  • Based on other competing properties
  • Based on actual sales in your area
  • Based on normal time of marketing your home

The Danger of Over-Pricing

When setting a price, why not ask for the moon? Make no mistake; we want you to get the best possible price for your property. However, when a home is priced too high for the market:
  • It attracts lookers, not legitimate buyers.
  • It implies that you aren’t motivated to sell.
  • It reduces the number of showings.
  • It helps the competition look better.
  • If it doesn’t appraise at the higher price, a buyer may not be able to secure a loan. You may ultimately have a drop your price below market value in order to sell.
