Pricing Pitfalls To Avoid When Selling Your Home

It is vital that you set your asking price based on the current market value of the home you are selling. You need accurate valuation information to do this and the best source to get this is from a professional property valuer.

It is too easy for home-sellers to let their emotions influence their asking price. After all, it's your lovely home that you have lived in for years and it suits you nicely so naturally its value is high. Emotion-based decisions like this are likely to put an unrealistically high price tag on your home and therefore it probably wont sell.

If your home is priced well above what the rest of the market is paying at the moment, prospective buyers will pass you by because the same money will alternatively get them a larger or more feature-rich home. Also, when buyers do come to inspect your over-priced house they will have significantly higher expectations. End result - no sale.

Ironically,over-pricing your home will often reduce the chances that your home will sell for what it is worth. Here's how that happens. The high price will drive prospective buyers away and that will drag out the length of time your home stays on the market. This raises a red flag for buyers and they become wary. It's reasonable for them to ask themselves why a home hasn't sold. They will often conclude that there must be something wrong with it.

So it is important to set a realistic price when you're selling your house. Not too high. Not too low.
