List Price...Does It Really Matter?

Well if you are planning to sell your house in today's market the answer is simple, YES! If your house is not well priced then the buyers will never get in the door. They will pass you up regardless of how many Web sites you are featured on, regardless of how many Open Houses that your Realtor holds, and all those brochures that disappear from your brochure boxes, they just end up in the trash.

There are two types of sellers: those that want and need to sell and those that are just testing the market. If you want and need to sell, then your house must be priced right to begin with. With the market changing weekly, the seller and the Realtor must stay on top of the price, it really is a joint effort in today's world to sell a house.

Long gone are the days where a buyer had to look at your home because selection was so limited. Today's buyer has many homes to choose from and to get your house shown you must be priced right.

Pricing homes in today's market can be tricky and often times price adjustments must made during the course of the listing. Sellers need to be concerned not only with recent sales in the area, but also with properties that are currently on the market - how does your home stack up in price and upgrades to the one two streets over or in many cases right next door. And don't forget, just because you are well priced today does not mean that you will be well priced tomorrow.
