6 Positioning Your Home to be in not just on the market the market A house can be listed but not generating showings, wrong kind of showings, or no offers. Priced too high means fewer showings, price reductions and more time on the market. the market A house that is priced right will appeal to more buyers and compete successfully against other active properties in its price range.

8 6 Dangers of Overpricing 1. Less-Qualified Buyer Exposure Overpriced houses fail to attract qualified buyers. 2. Fewer Offers When the difference between asking price and market price is substantial, prospective buyers are discouraged from making offers. 3. Decline in Showings Sales people avoid showing overpriced houses so they won t lose creditablity with buyers. If they do show overpriced homes, the intent likely is to compare it with correctly priced homes in the neighborhood rather than present it as a good option to buy. 4. Limits Financing Financial institutions and mortage companies finance only a percentage of the real value of the house. Overpricing may result in financing at a lower percentage, thus reducing the available funds for the buyer. Or the property won t appraise resulting in a loss of the sale and valuable time. 5. Less Money for Seller As interest in overpriced property declines, then sellers become desperate and end up selling at a tically reduced price. The property has spent more time on the market. 6. Decline in Sales Person Enthusiasm and Response Sales people lose interest in a property that is overpriced. They do not spend as much time in showing the house as they would if it were priced right.

You can eliminate buyer objections before they occur by making needed improvements and repairs, some of which are listed below: Exterior Enhancements and Curb Appeal Touch up with fresh paint as needed.

Mop or vacuum all rooms in the home Clean carpets and draperies Appliances should be clean and in working condition
