Pricing your home correctly is one of the most important things you can do when selling your home!

It’s common to see homes that are priced incorrectly. An overpriced home is more likely to sit on the market longer due to a lack of interest.

As a result, a stagnant, overpriced listing can have these effects:
- It can price out the most motivated buyers
- It can scare potential buyers away
- It can lead to lowball offers that you’ll feel pressured to accept

You want to avoid these scenarios at all costs since it can decrease the amount of money you make on the sale of your home.

But if you price your home correctly, you’ll find interested, motivated buyers who are willing to negotiate. This interest can even lead to a bidding war, which is every seller’s dream!

If you want to see what your home could sell for in the current market, reach out, and let's chat!

Let's get to the bottom of what contingencies in real estate are.

📝 A contingency is a clause in a formal real estate contract that states there are certain conditions that must be met by either the buyer or the seller in order to continue to the next step in the contract. There are contingencies in almost every real estate contract. They are there to protect the buyer and the seller.

Both the buyer and seller must agree to the terms of each contingency and sign the contract before it becomes binding.
