Why do some homes sell and others sit?
Pricing isn’t just “what it’s worth” – it’s where buyers will see it.
Think your property is worth around $500,000?
List it at $505,000 and you miss everyone searching “up to $500,000”. Suddenly you are competing with houses that are in the $500,000 to $525,000 bracket.
Price it at $495,000? You now represent value and compete for eyes and visits.
What else can you do? Homes that sell are easy. Easy to understand.
- Make a good first impression. Clean things up and welcome visitors.
- Streamline and stage. Create a sense of space and calm.
- Repair concerns before they become stories.
- Make showings easy. Be flexible and say yes when a request comes in.
- Keep the property showing ready. Baskets, chests, and closets are your friend.
- Have answers to questions.
All these steps seem simple when you see them written down.
Having a partner and a plan to execute them is the difference between discussed and done.
