Selling
I've heard this from quite a few sellers over the past few months...

"I want to sell for a reasonable and fair price"

...so let's talk about what that typically means.

If we conduct a market analysis of your home and conclude that it is likely worth $425,000 in the current market then wanting to "sell for a reasonable and fair price" likely means...

1.  You'd be happy to sell for $425K.

2.  You'd be happy to sell for $420K or $430K.

3.  You don't want to end up with a sales price of $400K or $405K or $410K.

4.  You don't find a need to try to sell for $440K or $450K.

As you prepare to get your home on the market... how will you think about pricing?

Will you be hoping to sell for a reasonable and fair price?

Will you be hoping a buyer will pay $20K to $30K more than they might expect to have to pay based on recent comparable sales?

Are there timing or other motivations that will make you willing to sell for $20K to $30K less than a buyer might expect to pay based on recent comparable sales?

Our best strategy is to start by putting together a market analysis of your home, and then see what we believe would be a reasonable and fair price for your house.

Curious what a reasonable and fair price looks like for your home in today's market?  I'd be happy to prepare a market analysis to help guide your selling decisions. Just reach out when you're ready to start the conversation.
