Probably the most important thing you can do when you decide to put your house on the market is determining what the price should be. Unfortunately we are usually emotionally attached to the house. Knowing what you paid for the house coupled with what you think your return should be and what you feel the house is worth is not always what the market will allow you to sell it for.
It takes a Real Estate Professional to analyze all aspects of the house, the community, economic trends and the housing market to establish that price.
There are some proven facts when marketing and selling your home and the most important one is that 75% - 80% of all potential buyers that will ever see the house will be in the first two weeks it is on the market. Pricing over the market will insure that many of these buyers will not even come and see the house and these potential buyers will never be recaptured.
If you are in a market that is going down and you are constantly lowering your price as the days drag on you are what is called “behind the market”. Being behind the market will always result in a lower price than if you had originally had the marketable price on the house when you first put it up for sale. You want to be “ahead of the market”. Now this holds true for both markets, when prices are rising or selling. You always want to be one step higher than the market on the way up and one step lower on the way down.
