+ Consider paying for a home warranty. They aren’t typically astronomically expensive, usually just a few hundred bucks, and they give a new homeowner the peace of mind to buy your used home. + Think about paying the closing costs. While this might seem a little unfair, if you can sell your house quickly, you’ll benefit tremendously. Remember, the longer your home marinates on the market, the less you’re going to make, anyway. POINTS TO REMEMBER: ; Not checking comparable home sales in your area can result in a costly mistake when setting the price. ; Check to see what opportunities are allowed under the “highest and best use” of your property. ; Incorrect pricing can result in wasted time and selling your home for less than it’s worth. ; Market conditions affect price. Know whether you’re in a buyer’s market or a seller’s market. ; Online sources such as Zillow and Realtor.com 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” aren’t useful for price benchmarking. ; Try sales incentives, such as decorating allowances, home warranties, or offering to pay closing costs. • • •
