Home selling prices are starting to fluctuate a great deal across the country.
Many areas that have been experiencing a real estate boom are starting to find out that home prices can't stay up forever.
On the other hand there are still areas of the country that are experiencing rapid home sales and soaring prices.
So the question is how do you price your home right so that you can get the most money and sell your home fast.
The first key to any real estate sale is to list the property at the correct price.
Most homes are listed for a higher price then what the home is truly worth.
Most FSBO's price the home high because they feel their home is worth more than their neighbor's even though the neighbor's home is exactly the same.
Real estate agents unfortunately price homes too high for fear of not getting the listing.
A real estate agent should know the proper price for a home but are pressured by the seller to list for a higher amount.
Instead of the agent doing the right thing, telling the owner how much the home is really worth, they go ahead and list the home for the higher amount.
Whatever you do, make sure you price your home at market or below.
To find the true value of your home you can either get a professional appraisal or get an experience real estate agent to help you.
A professional appraisal will cost around 400 dollars and will take about 3 hours to complete.
The appraiser will measure your home and find comparable sales in your area.
The real estate agent will do the same for free but their number might not be as accurate.
Of course a very experienced agent from your area might come up with a more accurate number.
If you want to sell your home fast then make sure you price your home properly or even a little under the true value of your home.
