As an professional Real Estate agent it's important to point out to sellers the cost of over pricing a home.  We understand not wanting to leave money on the table, but after 3 weeks on the market if the home is not getting 5-7 showings a week than the home is over priced between by 6% to 12%.    

How important is pricing? 

How to price a home

A price reduction of 6% to 12% on a $395,000 home is $20,000 to $45,000.  That sounds like huge price reduction and don't kid yourself, it is!  But remember subtract the following:

  • $10,000 for 5 months worth of mortgage payments based on $2,000 monthly payment
  • $2,500 for 5 months of bills

Total of $12,000 caring costs minus the price reduction equals a $8,000 to $33,000 price reduction.

And chances are if your home is priced well it will sell in 45 days!
