Four home seller realty checks exist before listing your London, Ontario home. You most likely have researched prices and a sense of what your house or condo should sell for, or have asked a Realtor or two.
What your home should and will sell for depends on the following:
•1. Understand that your asking price will define the expectations and limit the number of buyers who see your home. An unreasonably high asking price will create unreasonable expectations from buyers.
•2. Understand that there is a finite number of buyers who may want to see your home. Every appointment request you refuse or delay responding to will significantly limit your Realtor’s chance of receiving an offer and increase the time needed to sell your home.
•3. Understand that every day your home is on the market is a day closer to a price reduction and failure to sell. Housing data indicates that your home has a higher market value today than it will at any time during the duration of the listing agreement.
•4. Understand that buyers typically view between four and 12 homes. Your home needs to be in the first place to get them to make an offer. You will not get a decent offer if the price, condition, and presentation are not number one.
