Do you want to actually SELL your house, or just put it up for sale? I talk with sellers pretty regularly that seem to just want to have their home up for sale…
- “We want to test the market.”
- “If we can got our price…”
- “We aren’t going to give it away.”
- You get the idea, right?
And this isn’t the market to play around in. With foreclosures and short sales and unemployment being what they are, this is a bargain hunter’s market. This isn’t a test market.
Along the same lines are some of the “strategies” I hear regarding pricing. I wrote this post two years ago, and there are some warnings for buyers, too.
Sellers, price right and don’t play around.
Buyers, when you find one priced right, don’t play around.
