If you are looking
to sell your Boston home you are going to want to get the best price for your Boston home and the quickest sale possible. Is there
an optimal formula for ensuring your home will sell the fastest and for the best price?
Some experts say yes and offer the following advice for selling your home for
top dollar and as quick as possible.
Price it a little low. This
may seem counter-intuitive to many Boston homeowners. Many think that pricing
their home a little OVER market value will leave them room for negotiation. This
just dramatically lessens the demand for your house. Realtor.com, gives this advice:
“Aim to price your property at or just
slightly below the going rate. Today’s buyers are highly informed, so if they
sense they’re getting a deal, they’re likely to bid up a property that’s
slightly underpriced, especially in areas with low inventory.”
Use a Boston Real Estate Agent. This too may seem counter-intuitive. The
seller may think they would net more money if they didn’t have to pay a real
estate commission. Studies have shown that homes typically sell for more money
when handled by a real estate professional. Research posted by the National Association of Realtors
revealed that:
“The median selling price for all FSBO
homes was $185,000 last year. When the buyer knew the seller in FSBO sales, the
number sinks to the median selling price of $163,800. However, homes that were
sold with the assistance of an agent had a median selling price of $245,000 –
nearly $60,000 more for the typical home sale.”
My
Advice: Price your house at or slightly below
the current market value and hire a Boston
real estate agent. That will guarantee you maximize the price you get for
your house.
I’d be happy to work with you to give you a comparative market analysis of your home and speak about
timing your sale just right. A Boston, MA real estate agent will have their finger on the
pulse of the market and know the best way to proceed. Contact a real estate agent about selling your Boston home
