Selling My Home
Everyone has heard that when buying a home the three most important things to remember are Location! Location! Location! So what should you consider about selling? What are the three most important things to consider? Price! Price! Price! It sounds simple enough however too many times we tend to get caught up in the emotion of selling our home. All the work, love and joy we have had there or put into the home we perceive as added value. We want to be compensated for it. The thing to remember is that not everyone puts the same dollar value on our personal sentiment as we tend to. I remember one time I was at our Church auction and one of our young adults who had participated in a play we had put on there was bidding on some handmade (by herself as well as others) banners that were used as props in the play. Before the bidding had started she offered 10 times what they were worth and the place fell silent. The auctioneer smiled and said sold and thank you very much. Obviously the attachment she had felt for those banners was not shared by the rest of the congregation. What are the odds of us finding someone like that to buy the banners if she decided to sell them? Possible? Yes, however not likely. The same is true when selling your home. The more competitively priced your home is the more likely it is to sell. What would you rather see in 30-60 days? Sold or Price reduced?
