Should you price your home high just to ‘see what happens’?⁠

Many sellers like the idea of “starting high” to see if they get higher offers, but this strategy isn’t usually practical. Here are a few reasons why:⁠⁠

First, buyers may not see your listing if they use a price filter set to what they expect prices in the area to run.⁠

Second, you run the risk of the appraisal coming in lower than your contract price, which will require your contract to be renegotiated or canceled.⁠

Third, if your listing price puts your home higher than your neighborhood value, your home will likely sit on the market longer as buyers wait for you to make a reduction.⁠

It’s best to set a realistic listing price that will bring you buyers quickly.⁠

My goal is always to get you the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time.⁠

If you’re thinking about selling your home, give me a call. I’d love to help you get started.⁠
