Pricing your home correctly
Q:
How do I price my property correctly?
with Toni Sherwood
A:
The property market follows the principle of supply and
demand, generally the fewer properties for sale the higher the
prices. This balance can change quite notably in a short period
of time.
Overpriced properties generally take longer to sell because potential
buyers will look for the best value offered in the market at the time
before making their purchase. Overpriced homes will be put to the
bottom of the list.
Many factors affect the property market such as interest rates, the
local economy, government policy and world events. Because of
these factors a property which sold a year ago would more than likely
achieve a very different sale price if it sold today.
Remember a purchaser is buying bricks and mortar not the
emotional value you have in your property. The upgrades you
have made during your ownership will not necessarily give you
the total added return – buyers will be comparing it to other
similar properties.
Primarily value of your property is affected by the amount that similar
properties in the same area are selling for at about the same time.
Your consultant will help ensure that your property is priced
correctly for the current market – ASK YOUR EXPERT.
Your consultant can provide relevant information such as how much
properties are selling for in your area, how quickly sales are being
made and advise you on the state of the market.
The first 30 days that your property is on the market are crucial,
as that is when the largest number of potential buyers will visit
your property.
Your property is more likely to sell quickly, for the highest possible
price if it is priced and advertised correctly when it enters the
marketplace. This means taking into consideration current
market statistics.
