How to Set the Sales Price of Your Home (for FSBOs)
The value of your 3 bedroom house is tied to the selling price of other similar style 3 bedroom houses in your neighborhood. Below are a few things to consider:
- Estimate your home’s market value — Find the selling price of similar homes in your neighborhood. Internet databases of county records and other services make this task easier than it might seem.
- Flexible on financial terms — A Buyer might be willing to pay more for your house if he or she can take over your current mortgage, or if you are prepared to provide seller financing.
- Higher Demand in spring and summer – If you live in Philadelphia then spring and summer months usually have higher demand and this can lead to higher prices.
- What’s included/excluded in the sale – negotiating with the buyer to include newer washer, dryer, refrig, etc. can increase your asking price.
- Talk to a Real estate Pro – consider hiring a real estate appraiser (costs money), or calling a real estate investor (free estimates).
