Pricing Your Home For Sale

Think twice before overpricing your home…even if you think a buyer will pay even a slightly-inflated price. Lenders’ appraisal standards have been sharpened as foreclosure levels have risen. Values (including those of comparable properties) are critically considered as banks decide if they are going to lend money to home loan applicants. Many prospective buyers (especially those making cash offers) protect themselves in an offer by including a contingency clause specifing that the agreed-upon price must be confirmed by a professional appraisal. Additionally, the longer a house sits on the market, typically the lower a price it will command from the pool of ready and willing buyers. Consult your REALTOR for professional advice.

See Your Market Conditions Instantly

We here at The Smart Solutions Team are all about instant access to the information our clients need, the minute they need it.  With that in mind, we offer our Market Snapshot .  Stay on top of everything that happens in your neighborhood including Just Listed, Just Sold, Pending and what the sales trends are over time.  Choose to receive updated information as often as you choose. 

Just sold cards never tell you what you really need to know as a homeowner:  sales price!  Transfers in the newspaper never tell you how long a home was on the market, complete with pictures and specs on each property.  It’s time to have real-time access to all the facts in your local area.  Give it a try right now and you’ll have your report within moments.  No one will call you, and we hate spam as much as you do (maybe more!).  We promise to give you just what you ask for:  the straight facts.
