Home Selling Tip #1 Price, Price, Price
Anchorage Real Estate
As a Home Seller, the single most important factor in selling your home is PRICE. Sellers list their homes for many different reasons, such as a relocation, divorce and change in family size. Because of this, it is usually important to get the home sold in a reasonable amount of time and for the best PRICE possible.
Before a seller puts their home on the market, the first step should be to get a Competitive Market Analysis (sometimes referred to as Comaparative Market Analysis or Right Price Analysis) to see how much the house is really worth, the small changes that can be made to increase the price of the home, and all the Active, Pending, and Closed Listings in the area. This data is available to Real Estate Agents with access to the Alaska local MLS.
Talking to a Real Estate Professional will help you understand the value of your home and why it's important to not over price your house. Overpricing your home can have a negative impact on price. It's important to remember that listings lose their appeal and freshness after the first 2-3 weeks on the Real Estate Market. On the other hand, pricing a home low can encourage multiple bids and the competition can create offers higher than asking price. Pricing a home is part science and part art. Each Realtor uses a different formula to price homes.
Key Point to Remember:
-Perception and desireability add value
