Thoughts on Price

Dave Camp’s Thoughts on the Comment:

"My price is high, but bring me an offer!"

Serious buyers look in the price range that has been pre-determined by their down payment and monthly payment ability. Unless your property is priced correctly, the down payment and monthly payment requirements will not be competitive.

A buyer who is seriously looking, soon becomes very knowledgeable in his range. An unreasonable asking price only discourages him from looking and considering your property.

Buyers purchase by comparison and a property priced above the competition does not "compare" favorably. Inviting a buyer to make an offer could indicate that a fair price has not been established.

If you plan to adjust your price at the time of a sale, it is better to adjust the price now and attract serious buyers. This often places you in the favorable position of having more than one buyer interested in your property.

It is very difficult to obtain a reasonable offer on an over-priced property. The buyer feels he should be just as unreasonable in his offer as the seller in his asking price.

By contrast, offers are much easier to obtain on a reasonably priced property. You can then choose which offer to accept with no obligation to one that does not meet your requirements.

It is a mistake to believe that you will get more for a property by asking more. You usually get less, because fewer buyers will consider it when it's placed on the market. The right buyers will not see it, and it usually stays on the market so long that it tends to become "shop worn."

To obtain proper market exposure, it is an absolute necessity to be competitive in price, terms, and condition, with similar properties that are selling in the area.

If you are a serious seller, price your property at market, and attract serious buyers. You will stand a much better chance of getting full-market value, and your property will sell much faster.

Real Estate Appraisal

You should look at each home for its individual characteristics. Generally, older homes may be in more established neighborhoods, offer more ambiance, and have lower property tax rates. People who buy older homes, however, shouldn't mind maintaining their home and making some repairs. Newer homes tend to use more modern architecture and systems, are usually easier to maintain, and may be more energy-efficient. People who buy new homes often don't want to worry initially about upkeep and repairs.

Only an appraiser can give a real home value, but one thing your real estate agent can help you with, is determining the 'sold' value of homes around the area. This is especially important when writing an offer!
