Decoding Real Estate Price Strategy: A Seller's Path to Profit

Updated: Oct 2


 

Have you ever wondered what sets some open houses buzzing with buyers while others remain silent? The answer lies in the art of real estate price strategy. The key to selling your home for a substantial amount above the list price involves understanding three critical numbers: Comparable Sales Price, List Price, and the mysterious Sales Price.


  • Comparable Sales Price (Comps): While an appraiser may give you this value, it's the least critical in our trifecta. Comps are based on similar homes sold within the last 6 months, but market shifts and aging data may not reflect your home's true potential.


  • List Price: This isn't what you'll necessarily sell for; it's a strategic tool to attract buyers. The goal? Finding that one buyer willing to pay the most. Considering active, pending listings, and local pricing strategies, we aim for competitiveness, attracting more visitors and leading to a higher sale price.


  • Sales Price: The unknown variable we aim to maximize. Strategic pricing generates multiple offers, often around the comparable sales price or estimated value. The right list price can even attract offers soaring well above the list price, signaling you've found the buyer who values your home the most.


In a fast-paced California market, homes are typically on the market for less than 25 days. A skilled realtor can quickly assess if your home is priced correctly, making adjustments if needed. Dive into our strategy to decode the numbers and set your home on a path to profit.
