Pricing Your Home
To Sell
Sell
it Quick for Top Dollar
You want to get
the best price for your Everett home - right? Of course you do!
Everyone does. How exactly do you go about doing this? With many Everett homes on the
market, you want to price it to sell and you want to get as much as you can,
without being greedy. So then how do you decide on the best asking price when
selling your Everett,
WA home?
Pricing your home
correctly from the beginning represents one of, if not the most important
factors in the process of selling your home. Our experience has shown that if
you price your home too high, it will languish on the market for an extended
period of time. This could lead to what we call "chasing the market" which in
turn may lead to multiple price reductions. This ultimately could cause you to
sell your Everett home for LESS MONEY than if it were
priced properly from the start.
If you price your home too low, you will
sell it quickly, but for less money than it's worth. If you are like most
people, your home is the largest financial asset that you own. Determining the
correct price in which to sell your townhouse is critical. Click here for a complimentary Everett

Where
Should Your Home Be Priced?
Above Fair Market
Value - Sellers like to price their homes high, thinking that someone just might
pay it. THAT'S UNLIKELY. Buyers shopping for a Everett home know exactly what the market is
like, and won't be fooled into paying more than it is worth.
At Fair
Market Value - The recommended strategy. That is what your Everett home is
worth.
Below Market Value - This usually occurs when a seller is
"motivated" to sell fast for whatever reason they may have. When a home is
priced low this generates extra interest because it is considered a "deal." This
could lead to multiple offers and a sales price above where the property was
originally listed.
Worried about setting the wrong price?
Ask to see the
"estimates of value" collected from agents visiting your home during the
broker's open house. These estimates come from agents who work with buyers every
day, and who know what buyers are willing to pay for homes. When10 to 20 values
are averaged, your home's true value to buyers will become clear. If your home
isn't within 5% of the average value, it's overpriced, and the asking price
should be dropped. The longer your home sits on the market the more likely it is
that it will sell for less than if you priced it properly!
As Everett real estate
experts, we don't play "pricing games" when listing your house. Through the use
of historical data and understanding current market conditions, we list our
houses at the right price. This ensures that your home sells in the shortest
time for the highest price! This is the best approach. There are some agents who
will "BUY YOUR LISTING" (Listing your home at a higher price even if it is
unrealistic, in order to procure your listing.) They know that you will need to
reduce later. Within a few weeks of listing your house at the higher price, the
agent will start approaching you to reduce the price. This happens quite
frequently, and is unethical. Remember the real estate market determines the
value of a house NOT the agent.

An
Everett Home Is a Hot Listing
When a property first
comes onto the real estate market it generates excitement and interest among
Realtors and their buyers. The first few weeks that your Everett home is on the
market will generate the most showings if it is priced correctly at fair market
price. That's why starting out too high and dropping the price later is not the
best way to market your home. If you start out too high, your home will fail to
produce this excitement and you will not generate activity on your home. You may
even have to drop your price below market value just to compete with newer
listings that are properly priced. If you fail to price your Everett home correctly at
the beginning you will fail to get the highest possible price! To secure the
