Pricing your home right from the beginning

Here is a perfect example of what this market is doing to those who do not price their home correctly at the beginning and then attempt to chase down the market.

• Agent suggested list price of $241,000
• Seller wanted and got the agent to list for $255,000.
• 4 months later agent was able to get seller to reduce to $245,000
• Seller turns down offers of $225,000 and $219,000
• Seller finally accepts an offer of $219,000 and the buyer's financing falls through.

After numerous price reductions the home is now listed for $165,000 with an offer anticipated today.
