Home Selling Tips!
 
In todays real estate market it is critical
to price your home properly.
Here are some tips from a recent article with the
 Washington Post.
 
*You shouldnt base your selling price on what you paid or what a neighbor got years back.
 
*Look at the prices of homes for sale in your neighborhood, as well as homes that are comparable and have sold in the past three to six months.
 
*Be sure not to chose your real estate representative simply because they suggested the high list price.
 
*A smart choice is to pick a representative who can offer an educated explanation for the price he or she is suggesting.
 
*Be cautious of remodeling,  most costs are not typically recouped.
 
*Minor improvements can go a long way and will make your home more attractive than the competition.
 
*Ask your representative to reassess your competitive landscape to be sure your price is in line with the market.
 
*Stubborness doesn't pay.  If a few weeks have passed without any offers it's time to consider cutting the price.
 
*Remember be patient.  It's an ever changeing market!
