TIP #3 Do your homework before setting a sales price.

Settling on an offering price shouldn’t be done lightly. Once you’ve set your price, you’ve told buyers the absolute maximum they have to pay for your home. The trick for the seller is to get a selling price as close to the offering price as possible. If you start out by pricing too high, you might not be taken seriously by prospective buyers and their agents. A price too low can result in selling for much less than you had hoped for.
Setting your home’s sale price can be a fairly easy process. If you live in a subdivision comprised of homes with similar or identical floor plans, built in the same time period, then all you have to do is look at recent sales in the neighborhood to give you a good ballpark figure.
But many people live in older neighborhoods that have changed quite a bit over the years. Every home in your neighborhood may be different in minor or substantial ways—the house next door may have added another bedroom, for example, or the one across the street might have been built recently to fill a vacant lot. As a neighborhood evolves over the years, you may find that there aren’t any homes that are truly comparable to your own.
If you decide to sell your home on your own, the most common way to set a value is to look at homes that have sold in your neighborhood within the past six to 12 months, as well as those now on the market. That’s certainly how prospective buyers will
Assess the worth of your home.

Tip No. 2 Once you know, keep it to yourself.

Your reasons you want to sell your home will affect how you
negotiate the sale on your home, but the reasons should not
be given as ammunition to the person who wants to buy it. For
example, a prospective buyer who knows you must move quickly has
you at their mercy in the negotiation process. So Homes For Sale
Lexington SC wants you, when asked, to simply say, “My Housing
Needs Have Changed.” The reasons for you selling the home are
nobody’s business but your own.

Tip No. 1 Know why you’re selling.

The reason you look closely at why you want to sell is that your
motivations play an important role in the process. They affect
everything from setting a price to deciding how much time and
money you’ll invest to getting your home ready for selling.
For example, what’s more important to you: the money you walk
away with, or the length of time your property is on the market?
If your goal is a quick sale, that can dictate one kind of
approach. If you want to maximize your profit, we want you to
know the sales process will almost certainly take longer.
