Pricing your home correctly is crucial to attracting the right buyers and ensuring a successful sale. Here’s why it matters and how to get it right:

✅ Start with a Competitive Price: If you overprice your home, you may scare off potential buyers. On the flip side, pricing too low could mean leaving money on the table. Work with your real estate agent to set a price based on comparable properties in your area, the home’s condition, and the current market.

✅ Consider the Market Conditions: Is it a seller’s market or a buyer’s market? In a seller's market, you may have room to price higher, while in a buyer’s market, a competitive price will help your home stand out.

✅ Get a Professional Comparative Market Analysis (CMA): A CMA will provide valuable insights into what similar homes have sold for in your area and will guide you in setting a reasonable, attractive price.

✅ Avoid Overpricing: Homes that linger on the market for too long can start to look undesirable. Even a slight reduction in price after the home has been listed for a while can make buyers question why it hasn’t sold yet.

✅ Remember Value, Not Just Cost: It's not just about the listing price—it's about what buyers feel your home is worth based on the features, location, and amenities.

✅ Be Open to Adjustments: If you're not seeing the interest or offers you were expecting, be open to revisiting the pricing strategy with your agent. Sometimes, a slight adjustment can spark more interest and attract serious buyers.

Price it right from the start to generate interest, sell quickly, and get top dollar for your home!

Purchasing a fixer-upper home — one in need of some TLC — could mean scoring a home at a major discount, renovating it into your dream home, and possibly even doubling its value, or more.

As home costs soar, fixer-upper homes for sale appear to be gaining appeal. A consumer survey from RE/MAX found that 56% of 1,000 prospective home buyers would consider purchasing a fixer upper in need of remodeling if it meant getting a lower price. And it didn’t matter whether the remodeling was cosmetic or structural.

Potential savings is only one aspect of buying a fixer-upper home, though. You'll want to take steps to make sure your choice is right for you in ways other than price.

Thinking about buying a fixer upper home? Follow these essential 15 tips to make sure it's a smart investment for you and your future.
