Real Estate Tips

Selling your Home Quickly

When you are selling a house, price, condition and exposure are usually the three most important factors. This is especially true in a down market.

Price

Your asking price is based on two things, an appraisal and a comparative market analysis. A certified appraiser performs the appraisal; this is an estimate of the value of your house at a given time. The real estate agent does the comparative market analysis; this is an informal estimate based on comparative homes in your neighborhood. These two sources need to be kept in mind when determining your asking price. You want to be careful not to start too high, or come down too low.

First, you look at recent sales of similar properties to come up with a price range. Then, you analyze additional data, such as the condition of the home, improvements made to the property, current market conditions, and the circumstances of the seller. This will help you settle on a price you think would be fair to pay for the home. Finally, depending on your negotiating style, you adjust your "fair" price and come up with what you want to put in your offer.
