Selling your house : How to get the right price…

GET THE RIGHT PRICE FOR YOUR HOME

Selling your home could well be the biggest financial transaction of your lifetime, the task to a real estate professional from RE/MAX will be the first step in achieving your objective.

Setting The Price

The first question every owner asks is “How much can I get for my home?”
We can help you decide on the right price by giving you a professional opinion on the market value of your home. You probably have a rough idea of the general price range for homes like yours. We can go further by giving you solid, factual information on which to base your pricing decision.

Like any other product, the value of homes varies according to supply and demand. If there are a lot of homes for sale and few buyers, prices tend to remain stable or decline. If there are many more buyers than there are houses for sale, prices tend to go up. Because RE/MAX is continually talking with buyers and sellers in your neighborhood, your representative will have a good “feel” for the current market.

We can also help by looking at your home with an experienced eye. No two homes are the same, and many features such as the surrounding community, location, age, condition and renovations, will influence its market value.

The Home Marketing Program

Your RE/MAX sales representative has access to detailed and up-to-date computerized information on houses which have been listed and sold in your area, You will be able to compare them with your house, feature by feature, and gain an understanding of what buyers are looking for.

All this information taking into account market conditions, asking and selling prices of local homes, and the special features of your own house from the basis of a comprehensive market analysis, is the first step in RE/MAX Home Marketing Program.

With the market analysis complete, you’ll have all the information you need to decide on a listing price high enough to give you a good return, but not so high as to limit buyers response.
