S£T YOUR PRICE BASED ON COMPARABLE SALES
Property values are hyperlocal; therefore, real estate professionals rely on comparable sales or "comps" to price homes. With this strategy, a comparative marltet analysis or CMA is used to determine a price point. Your home is compared to recently sold homes similar in size, condition and location. The price suggested by a CMA is a market-supported price that should attract the largest possible number of buyers.
ANALYZE THE COMPETITION
Another strategy is to look at the listing price on active comps. Pay particular attention to those currently under contract. You can make an educated guess on the sales price by how quickly the listing went under contract since being on the market. If it was relatively quicI‹, it's liltely being sold close to the listing price.
ANALYZE THE I.OCAI• MARKET CONDITIONS
The real estate marI‹et is always changing so be aware of where it's headed. If there are a lot of similar homes on the market and demand is not very high, you should price competitively. Conversely, if you find that there is demand or that homes sell quickly, you should set a slightly higher listing price.
