The Importance Of Careful Pricing When Marketing Your Kapiti Home

Usually the home seller (vendor) will need to convince both a buyer, and a valuation expert, as to the value of the property.

The buyer will be more subjective and will compare the amenities of the dwelling to those of other homes in the same price range.

The valuer will be more objective and will compare size, age and cost-identifiable features in your property against other properties that have already sold.

So, your home must be priced within the appropriate range. If similar houses are currently selling in the $300,000 to $330,000 price range, it does no good to insist on selling at $460,000.

Pricing Your Home To Sell In Kapiti

Many buyers will need to raise finance based on the valuation provided by an independent valuer, so the property will need to "stack-up" financially.

The golden rule in real estate is "Price your property to sell!"

Now, that doesn't mean giving your property away for next to nothing... It just means being realistic and listening to the market. Price is usually the most critical facet in selling a home.

Just as you want the best value for your money, the buyer of your property will want the best value for his or her money too.

In some cases two buyers will end up fighting over a property with the winner paying more than the true market value. Good marketing and an agent with good negotiating skills can make all the difference.

The key is to try and get more than one buyer interested in your property. Pricing your home to sell is critical.
