buy your used home. • Consider paying the closing costs. If you can sell your house quickly, you’ll benefit tremendously. Remember, the longer your home sits on the market, the less you’re going to make anyway — and you can recoup closing costs in the price of your home.
POINTS TO REMEMBER:
• Not checking comparable homes on the market can result in a costly mistake of setting the wrong price. • Incorrect pricing can result in wasted time and selling your home for less than it’s worth. • Market conditions affect price. Learn whether you’re in a buyer’s market or seller’s market. • Online sources such as Zillow provide useful market and pricing information. • An appraiser or real estate agent can help you determine an accurate price. • Bank owned/REO properties, short sales, and “ugly homes” are not useful for price benchmarking. • Try sales incentives, such as decorating allowances, home warranties, or offering to pay closing costs.
