Before You Put Your Home On The Market... Decide How “SERIOUS” You Are About Selling Your Home Real Estate Article By Noel Peebles
|
Before you put your home on the market think carefully about how motivated you are to sell your home. Think also
about the true market value of your home rather than just what you may need (or want) to get from the sale of your
home.
Some people will put their home on the market at a ridiculously high price without considering the true market
value. Not because they expect to sell their home for that price, but because they can’t decide if they really want to
sell their home. If a buyer is willing to pay their inflated price, it makes their decision a whole lot easier.
But, isn't that the wrong way to go about selling your home? If money were the only motivating factor, wouldn't the
seller be better off considering other types of money making schemes?
If a home is not “seriously” for sale
it can be a waste of time for all
concerned.
Before you put your home on
the market, be clear on why you
are selling and know the true
market value of your home
If you've decided put your home on
the market, chances are you're
caught up in a horde of emotions.
You may be looking forward to
trading up to your new dream
home or facing the uncertainty of a
major relocation to another city.
You may be hesitant to leave your memories behind or keen to start a new adventure. Whatever turbulent emotions
you're experiencing right now, you need to be clear on exactly what’s motivating you to market your home for sale.
Is the motivation there to make your home sale happen?
There’s that old saying, “it takes two to tango!” Well, if you’re selling through a real estate agent it might take three!
You see; to bring any deal together takes a motivated buyer, a motivated seller and a motivated real estate agent
(if you’re using a real estate agent).
I repeat what’s already been said - Before you put your home on the market think carefully about how motivated
you really are to sell. And, research the true market value of your home rather than just what you may need (or
want) to get from the sale of your home.
The truth is; you are either going to be realistic in setting your price expectation or you’re not. That could make a
big difference to what happens (or does not happen) when your home goes on the market for sale.
