\"Selling<\/p>\n

Every homeowner wants to make sure that they maximize their financial reward when selling their home, but how do you guarantee that you receive the maximum value for your house?<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are two ways to ensure that you get the highest price possible.<\/p>\n

1. Price it a Little Low<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This may seem counterintuitive, but let\u2019s take a look at this concept for a moment. Many homeowners think that pricing their homes a little OVER market value will leave them\u00a0with room for negotiation when, in actuality, it just dramatically lessens the demand<\/a> for their houses\u00a0(see chart below).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Selling<\/a><\/p>\n

Instead of the seller trying to \u2018win\u2019 the negotiation with one buyer, they should price their house so that demand for the home is maximized. By doing so, the\u00a0seller<\/em>\u00a0will not be fighting with\u00a0a\u00a0buyer<\/em>\u00a0over the price but will instead have\u00a0multiple buyers<\/em>\u00a0fighting<\/a> with\u00a0each other<\/em>\u00a0over the house.<\/p>\n

Realtor.com<\/em>\u00a0gives this advice:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAim to price your property at or just slightly below the going rate. Today\u2019s buyers are highly informed, so if they sense they\u2019re getting a deal, they\u2019re likely to bid up a property that\u2019s slightly underpriced, especially in areas with low inventory.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

2. Use a Real Estate Professional<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This, too, may seem counterintuitive as the seller<\/a> may think that he or she will make more money by avoiding a real estate commission. With this being said, studies have shown that homes typically sell for more money when handled by real estate professionals.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0Collateral Analytics,<\/em>\u00a0reveals that FSBOs don\u2019t actually save any money, and in some cases may be costing themselves more, by not listing with an agent. The data showed that:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFSBOs tend to sell for lower prices than comparable home sales, and in many cases below the average differential represented by the prevailing commission rate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The results of the study showed that the differential in selling prices for FSBOs, when compared to MLS sales of similar properties, is about 5.5%. Sales in 2017 suggest the average sales price was near 6% lower for FSBO sales of similar properties.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Price your house at or slightly below the current market value and hire a professional. This will guarantee that you maximize the price you get for your house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
