On virtually a daily basis Sellers talk to me about what the best wayto sell a home now that the market has tanked. It’s not news anymore that selling right now is a challenge at best and painful at worst. It’s more important than ever to use every resource and technique possible to construct a well designed approach using all possible information and tools available in your market.

The first step is to gain an in depth knowledgeof all of the homes on the marketnear yours so you can create a game plan. Look at each home carefully and learn what a Buyer would like about each of the homes and how yours stacks up. Is yours bigger, better, younger, older, etc…

Next revisit your own home and try to be objective about how it fits with the inventory. Certainly your home is better than some but less appealing than others. The key is to price your home more expensive than inferior homes and less expensive than equivalent or superior homes. Pricing, now is extremely sensitive and its essential to be very accurate. In a declining market like we have in Conifer home for sale an important and effective strategy is to price in a way that creates a compelling attractive offer that is easy to recognize and act upon. In other words your home must clearly be the best value at whichever price you choose. If your home is the second best priced home among similar homes it will be the “bridesmaid” and never the “bride”.

The next step is to establish the amount of inventory relative to the frequency of sales. If homes are still selling at a fast pace then you must regularly revisit your pricing strategy and maintain an objective value-based strategy relative to competition.
