Decide Home Listing Price
By admin | November 15, 2009
In the home buying process, many potential buyers use the listing price as primary factor in choosing the homes that they look at. Even though you and an agent may decide the asking price, the buyer decides the selling price. When the asking price is too high, most buyers won’t give it a second thought – which is why you want to decide the price carefully.
If you set the right price, you’ll reach a much faster sale. Setting the right listing price will also attract more potential buyers to your home as well. You’ll also notice an increase in response from real estate agents, and receive more inquiries about the house. The list price is important – and it can decide whether or not you sell your property. Many times, homes with a lower listing price sell for considerably more for the reason that buyers bid up the price.
A home can be priced too high for several reasons. Overpricing is something you want to not do, as buyers tend to avoid houses that are overpriced. Generally, this occurs when a buyer asks a lot more than the home is worth or valued at. Some buyers ask a lot more than the value of the home due to location. Although the location is very important, most potential buyers won’t give the home a second look if they think the price is too high – and more importantly out of their price range.
Location is one of the advantages of Hudson County property. Anyone working in New York will appreciate the fast commute into Manhattan on one of the many mass transit options that are available. The Weehawken Ferry at the NY Waterway Port Imperial provides a scenic commute and is connected to North Bergen, Union City and West New York via Hudson-Bergen Light Rail. The Bergenline Avenue (Union City) Light Rail Station – 49th Street & Bergenline Avenue – is convenietly located to shopping, restaurants and bars on the Bergenline Ave. You will find authentic Cuban Restaurants as well as a vibrant ethnic community.
Many people enjoy the panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline from the comfort of their living rooms. Condominiums for sale on Boulevard east along Weehawken, West New York and North Bergen and on the Palisades in Union City offer a perfect view of the New York Skyline. But homes are priced higher than the listings a few blocks away.
Union City and Boulevard East are served by buses to New York every few minutes. The cities are also next door to Hoboken that has both ferry and PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson) service between New York City and New Jersey. The Journal Square – 33rd Street via Hoboken is just one stop from Christopher Street in Greenwich Village. Hoboken has the look and feel of the Village and the Path runs similar to the Subway. So Hoboken is quite popular and the listing price for homes in Hoboken runs somewhat higher.
When you put your home up for sale, most interest will happen within the first couple of weeks. If you put the right price on your home, you’ll notice interest from the start. There are always buyers searching for real estate in their price range, waiting for new home listings or homes to be reduced in price. Buyers who are waiting to buy may miss seeing your home completely if the price is too high.
To decide the listing price of your home, you should always have an appraisal before you put it on the market. This way, you’ll know the full valuation of your home. You can sell it for market price or go a little under, although you should never try to go way over the value. In doing so, you’ll miss out on a lot of potential buyers. The home market is very competitive these days, which is why you want your home to attract as much attention as possible.
Consider that realty agents really have no control at all over the real estate market, only the idea behind marketing. The agent doesn’t decide the asking price – the seller does. You can ask an agent for advice, although you determine your listing price. If you handle things correctly and go step by step, you’ll set the listing price in the ballpark and have no problems having your property sold.

[...] Pricing your property right plays a crucial role in the house flipping business. You need to set a price for your property that seems just perfect the first time and yet be negotiable across the table. This is one of the basic methods to retain a potential customer and sell your property off in a shorter period of time. If you fail to do so and start to be governed by greed, then you will end up sitting with your property for a longer period of time thereby incurring losses rather than earning even a small amount of money.
