Signs Your House Is Overpriced
Posted on: 4 January 2019
If you want to sell your house quickly and without any problems, the best thing you can do is price it right. If you overprice your house, you will likely have problems finding someone who wants to buy it, but many people do not know if they priced their homes right. Here are several signs to watch out for that can help you know if you put too high of a price tag on your home.
You are having very few showings
From the time a house is listed for sale, calls will start coming in to the agent who listed the home, and this can happen almost instantly. There are always people looking for homes to buy, and they will watch the market for new listings. When new listings appear, they will want to see the homes right away, if the homes appear to fall within their needs and wants. If you are not having any showings right away, or very few, it could be due to your listing price.
You have not received an offer after a month or so
When you start having showings, you should get an offer within a month or two in most cases. If you do not get any offers within a couple of months, there is a good chance it is because the price is too high. Homes priced right will often sell within a month or so, and some can sell even faster than this.
Feedback includes that the price is too high
Another way to know if your house is priced too high is by reading through the feedback you receive from people who viewed your home. If people viewed it and did not buy it, there should be reasons for this. While there are a lot of reasons people will not buy a house they viewed, one of the reasons is due to the price being too high.
All the houses around you are selling
One other sign that you priced your house too high is if you notice that homes for sale in your community and area are selling but yours is not. This could be due to overpricing your home, or it could be due to another reason.
Overpricing a house will prevent it from selling, and you should carefully evaluate how much your house is really worth before you decide on an asking price for it. Your real estate agent can help you determine how to come up with the best asking price for your house, and you should take his or her advice.
