One of the biggest mistakes sellers make? Overpricing their home. Or even underpricing it! Here’s how to figure out the sweet spot:
1. Check out similar listings
Look at homes like yours nearby — same size, location, number of bedrooms, condition, etc.
2. Don’t let emotions decide
Your home may be full of memories, but buyers look at facts. Be realistic.
3. Get a professional appraisal
A licensed appraiser can give you a solid, market-based estimate.
4. Factor in any upgrades
Renovated kitchen? New flooring? Those can boost your home’s value.
5. Look at the market
Is it a seller’s market or a buyer’s market? If there’s a lot of competition, you might need to adjust the price a bit.
TIp: The right price sells faster. Waiting months just to squeeze out a few thousand bucks? Sometimes it’s not worth the stress.
