- Don't make it personal: The moment you put your home on the market stop referring it as "my home." This will put some emotional distance between you and the house. Refer it as " the home" or " the property".
- Tour the neighborhood: Check out your competition by touring homes within a mile radius of you. See how they show, what they are priced at and what makes your home stand out from the others. This is a huge advantage to selling your home- you want to know what is on the market and why your home is better.
- Follow the comps: Your home is only worth what someone else is willing to pay. Comps are a great place to start when pricing your home because it shows in black and white what buyers are actually paying in your area.
- Put it on the market: The first two weeks on the market will tell you a lot. If you have ample activity of agents and buyers looking but no offers you are probably priced too high.
- Back it up: If you have made too many price changes or haven't had much activity take it off the market. Ask your agent how long you have to wait to re-list it as a "new listing. Make sure to re-list with everything you learned about your market correct the first time. The first impression of a listing is very important.
