Selling your Charleston real estate in a slow real
estate market isn’t easy, but it can be done. Pricing your home right is the
key to selling it within a reasonable amount of time.
Sometimes this means lowering your price while it’s
on the market. Of course, you want to get as much money as possible, so how do
you know when it’s time to lower your asking price?
- No
One Is Looking At Your Home. If you expect
your home to sell, you need to have people look inside it. Most buyers search
for homes within a certain price range. If you aren’t getting any
showings, chances are it’s because your home is overpriced compared to
other homes in the area. In this case, you may need to lower your price so
buyers will look at your home.
- Comparable
Homes Are Selling For Less. Your home will
sell for whatever a buyer is willing to pay for it. If the homes around
you are selling for less than your asking price, it may be time to lower
it. No one is going to pay more for your home when they can get the same
thing for less. Pay attention to what homes are selling for in your community
and adjust your price accordingly.
- You
Are Getting A Lot Of Negative Feedback. Buyers are
a great source of information about other homes in your price range. After
all, they’re spending their free time looking at countless homes similar
to yours. Your Charleston real estate agent can find out exactly what
buyers think of your home. Perhaps homes comparable to yours have updated
kitchens or more attractive landscaping. With this knowledge, you can
choose to either remodel or lower your price.
