#1. PRICE
It seems obvious, but price is one of the key points for a make-or- break deal. Listing your home correctly and strategically—at the right price and the right time—works like a magnet. It attracts customers. Call a real estate expert to understand current market prices and how other properties are selling in your area. If you’re not convinced, you can contact other real estate experts for confirmation; second opinions never hurt. If you find out that prices are higher than you anticipated, and you’re in a hurry to sell, don’t set a price too low. It’s a myth that a lower price means a quick sale. That’s not always true, and it can cost you in the end. A too-low price can have many negative consequences, such as: • Incorrect evaluation of your house — A low-end price is considered suspicious, and buyers might think you want to hide serious problems. As a result, potential buyers pay extra attention and become suspicious. • Negotiation of the final price — Suspicions about a low- priced home can lead to lowball offers, and if you’re in a hurry to sell, you will lose a lot more money than you expected. Further, as soon as your home is listed, changing it to a higher price later might lead to no sales. So you’re either stuck with the low price or don’t get a buyer. Knowing how important prices are, it’s best to leave it to an expert. Don’t take a risk on something as major as a house sale!
