Selling your home in the Poconos - Is your Realtor doing their best for you? Point D -
PRICING YOUR HOME FOR THE MARKET YOU ARE IN AND TO BE ABLE TO SELL
WITHIN THE AVERAGE DOM (Days on the Market)
If your Realtor is doing their best for you they will bring along a detailed Market Analysis
when they come to meet you. A detailed Market Analysis should show:
Recently Sold Homes - must meet mortgage company and current appraiser guidelines
in order for the home to appraise for your Buyers which in our area means the sold homes
should have sold within the last 6 months (if possible), be close in age and size to your
home, and be within a certain range of area (proximity, usually a few miles, if possible).
Competition - a list of the homes that are currently for sale that will be your competition
so you can see for yourself the saturation of our market, and what you are up against
in our market in order to be able to sell your home in the Poconos.
Pending sales - homes that are similar to yours that have recently gone under Contract
to be sold. This gives you an idea of what "is moving" and at what price.
Expired listings - homes that did not sell in the market place which is another guideline
you can use for pricing your home properly.
YOUR PRICE NEEDS TO BE "RIGHT ON THE BUTTON!"
This properly prepared and presented Markey Analysis will help to give you a true feeling of
the market place, whether or not you can afford or want to sell in the current market place,
and what price you NEED TO PRICE YOUR HOME AT if you want to sell within the average days
on the market in your current market place.
PRICING YOUR HOME TO SELL IS NOT:
1) How much money I have put into the home. Most of the money you have put into
the home is NORMAL MAINTENANCE COSTS OF OWNING A HOME. Renovations and updating
your home are not 100% return on your money, they are only a percentage of the cost
of renovations.
2) How much money I need to walk away with to buy something else.
3) How much money that I need to be able to retire comfortably for the next 10 years.
PRICING YOUR HOME TO SELL IS DETERMINED BY CURRENT MARKET VALUES and the
type of Market in the area where your home is located.
