The most important part of marketing your home is determining a realistic asking price.
Put yourself in the buyers shoes when setting your price. When you are house hunting, you will look at everything on the market and try to find the best value for your money. So when you are ready to sell your home, step back and look at your home objectively and price it competitively.
 

If the listing price is too high you'll miss out on a percentage of buyers looking in the price range where your home should be. Buyers who would be interested in your home will be scared off by the price and won't even look. By the time you lower your price, its often to late because of buyers will wonder why the house has not sold.
 

Don't rely on hearsay or rumor about recent sales. Get the facts by asking Marcy for a free Comparative Marketing Analysis (CMA). You will get a current assessment of the market in your area.
 

There are also other factors to consider in setting the asking price. Questions like:
  How quickly does the house need to sell?
 

Is a sale needed to finance the purchase another home?
 

Can the seller afford to hold out for an above average house?
   
 

If your home is priced right your home will sell faster and will never lose it marketability. Realtors will focus their energies on your property because it more marketable. A well price home will attract more potential buyers and usually higher offers.
