Pricing strategy
List price should reflect market conditions, comparable sales, property condition, and the seller's objectives.
Selling a home
A strong sale begins with the financial outcome you need from the property.
Selling is not only about maximizing price. Timing, equity, next-home financing, repairs, transaction costs, and certainty of closing all affect the decision.
Preparation
Repairs, cleaning, staging, photography, and presentation can affect buyer response and marketability.
Offer quality
Price matters, but financing strength, contingencies, credits, timelines, and certainty of closing also matter.
Inspection and appraisal
Buyer due diligence and lender appraisal can create negotiation points after contract acceptance.
Net proceeds
Mortgage payoff and transaction costs determine how much equity is actually available after closing.
Next move
If another purchase is planned, sale timing and proceeds should be coordinated with the next financing strategy.
