Seller FAQs
While there are many methods that can be used, the most common is to complete a Comparative Market Analysis, or CMA. This involves an in-depth analysis of homes, similar to yours, that have sold recently in your neighborhood. A CMA will include anything from square footage and number of beds/baths to upgrades and roof age.
The list price is the price at which your home is currently listed on the MLS. The sale price is the price your home ultimately sells for. Ideally, you want your sale price to be as close as possible to the list price. In a seller’s market, it’s possible to get well over the list price, while in a buyer’s market, it’s possible to get well below.
This will be different for everyone. The price you can command for your home will depend on many factors, such as size, condition, age, neighborhood, location, current market situation, and comparable sales in the area. Your trusted real estate agent can do the research on comps and a property appraisal can be done to come up with a preliminary sale price. Your agent will further guide you as to what list price would be reasonable in today’s market.
There are many things you can do to get your home ready for listing. Minimize clutter, touch up scuffed walls, plant some flowers, add some mulch beds, clean up the yard and remove debris, paint rooms that need an update, have the carpets cleaned, and tidy up. Before open houses and showings, you will want to remove personal effects such as photos and collectibles. You want buyers to imagine the home as theirs. Improving curb appeal is the most important factor, as this is the first thing people will notice when they pull up.
Spring is historically the best time to put a house on the market, as the milder weather and blooming flowers can inspire people to get outside and start searching for homes. But it’s certainly not the only good time to put a house on the market. While the very beginning of the year can be slow, by May the market is hopping. This lasts well into summer and fall. In the end, the time of year isn’t as important as having a qualified agent behind you to move the process along.
