When it comes to selling your home, setting the right price from day one isn’t just a recommendation — it’s a strategy that can make or break your sale. In today’s property market, where conditions can shift rapidly, pricing your home accurately is more important than ever.
First Impressions Matter
Buyers are most active when a home first hits the market. This is when it will get the most views, the most interest, and the most enquiries. If your home is overpriced, potential buyers may scroll past your listing without even clicking. Worse still, they may compare it to other similar homes that are better priced, making yours seem less appealing.
Overpricing Can Backfire
A common mistake sellers make is pricing high to “leave room for negotiation.” Unfortunately, this strategy often leads to extended time on the market. As your listing lingers, it becomes stale — and buyers start to wonder what’s wrong with it. Eventually, you may need to reduce the price, sometimes more than once, to regain interest.
Market Conditions Play a Big Role
The property market isn’t static. Whether it's a buyer’s market or a seller’s market significantly affects pricing strategies. In a seller’s market, where demand exceeds supply, you might have more flexibility with pricing. However, in a buyer’s market, where there’s more inventory and buyers have more options, your pricing needs to be sharp and competitive.
We closely monitor:
Recent sales in your area (comparables)
Average days on market
Local buyer demand
Interest rates and lending conditions
Factoring in these conditions helps us set a realistic and strategic asking price — one that aligns with buyer expectations and current trends.
The Goal: Sell Quickly and Profitably
The right price attracts serious buyers and can lead to multiple offers, which puts you in a stronger negotiating position. It also helps you avoid the stress and financial burden of a drawn-out sale.
