Position Your Home To Sell

In real estate, knowledge is power, and your Coldwell Banker® agent is a local-market expert. By sharing current market data, trends and a comparative market analysis (CMA), your agent will help you make an informed decision about your home’s market value and ideal asking price.

 

Factors That Impact Your Home’s Value:

  • Market Conditions – the current supply (or inventory) of homes for sale, buyer demand, interest rates and availability of financing, prices of recently sold properties, economic factors and seasonal demand.
  • Your Home’s Condition – location, age, size of the home and lot, floor plan and architectural style.
  • The Competition – the number of similar properties for sale and their prices, condition, location and financing terms.

Factors That Do Not Impact Your Home’s Value:

  • Original Price – what you paid for your house.
  • Needed Proceeds – the net cash proceeds you want or need.
  • Opinions – what friends and neighbors say your home is worth.


Pricing Right

While we’ll work together to set your home’s asking price, the buyer will set the sales price. If you price your home too high, you’ll miss out on potential buyers. Pricing your property at fair market value, from the start, will generate the most activity from real estate agents and home buyers. The price must attract enough attention to result in showings and offers.
