Why pricing matters more than ever

As we’ve seen a decline in buyer demand over the past few months, it’s more important than over to ensure that you’re pricing your property competitively when you’re listing it for sale.

Six to twelve months ago, it was common to test the market and price $10k-$20k over the previous sale in your neighborhood. That’s no longer the case.

When that happens, you may have to lower the price to try to reignite interest in your house when it sits on the market for a while. But be aware that a price drop can be seen as a red flag for some buyers who will wonder what that means about the home or if in fact it’s still overpriced.

There’s one thing we know for sure...
