I have found being in real estate business that one of the biggest challenges to home owners are well as realtors is pricing the property. I have seen first hand how people react to properties priced to high. The effect is simply they will overlook the property and look in the direction of listings that are more reasonably priced. I think it's human nature to desire the best bargain possible. 

    Research has concluded that the most exposure that a property will have is within the first thirty days of the property being listed for sale. This is mainly because it's fresh, new, and exciting. For this reason it's imperative that if you truly want to sale your property in the shortest amount of time that you price your property accordingly.

    Accordingly to me means based on what the property is and what condition the home is in. Common sense should indicate that the better the condition and the more updated the property is, the more people will stop their busy life and come look at your home. The more people that look at your home the quicker the property will sell in the market. This is competition and its important to realize that you have competition especially in today's market then properties are taking longer to sell than normal.  

    I have seen first hand how people look at their neighbors down the street that just sold or listed their property for sale. They think automatically that if the neighbor down the street could get that price then they should be able to get the same price or more for theirs.  Is could be true if you homes were relatively the same house, however the reality is two hundred more square feet or a home that has been updated more or less will command a different price in the market. 

    So with all these factors that effect price and I've only mentioned a couple. How do you ensure that you have priced you're property right and that people will not only call, but start making offers? I have a suggestion hire a unbiased professional. What is a unbiased professional, it's an appraiser. I know this sounds crazy that you will have to spend $300-$400 dollars to save yourself thousands. But the reality is banks make loans on appraised value.
