Every homeowner wants to make sure they maximize their financial reward when selling their home. But how do you guarantee that you receive the maximum value for your house?<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are two keys to ensure that you get the highest price possible.<\/p>\n

1. Price it a LITTLE LOW\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This may seem counterintuitive, but let\u2019s look at this concept for a moment. Many homeowners think that pricing their homes a little OVER market value will leave them\u00a0with room for negotiation. In actuality, this just dramatically lessens the demand for your house (see chart below).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

Instead of the seller trying to \u2018win\u2019 the negotiation with one buyer, they should price it so that demand for the home is maximized. By doing this, the\u00a0seller\u00a0<\/em>will not be fighting with a\u00a0buyer\u00a0<\/em>over the price but will instead have\u00a0multiple buyers\u00a0<\/em>fighting with\u00a0each other\u00a0<\/em>over the house.<\/p>\n

Realtor.com\u00a0<\/em>gives this advice:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAim to price your property at or just slightly below the going rate. Today\u2019s buyers are highly informed, so if they sense they\u2019re getting a deal, they\u2019re likely to bid up a property that\u2019s slightly underpriced, especially in areas with low inventory.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

2. Use a Real Estate Professional<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This, too, may seem counterintuitive. The seller may think they would make more money if they didn\u2019t have to pay a real estate commission. With this being said, studies have shown that homes typically sell for more money when handled by a real estate professional.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0study<\/a> by\u00a0Collateral Analytics,<\/em> reveals that FSBOs don\u2019t actually save any money, and in some cases may be costing themselves more, by not listing with an agent.<\/p>\n

In the study, they analyzed home sales in a variety of markets in 2016 and the first half of 2017. The data showed that:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFSBOs tend to sell for lower prices than comparable home sales, and in many cases below the average differential represented by the prevailing commission rate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The results of the study showed that the differential in selling prices for FSBOs when compared to MLS sales of similar properties is about 5.5%. Sales in 2017 suggest the average price was near 6% lower for FSBO sales of similar properties.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Price your house at or slightly below the current market value and hire a professional. This will guarantee that you maximize the price you get for your house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
