PRICE
!
Time is not on your side – the best price you’ll get is the one you get now. If you
wait, it may likely be lower.
!
First impressions matter! When your home goes on the market, your best opportunity to
make an impact is within the first 30 days. This is your “Window of Opportunity” – making
the wrong first impression will cost a seller time and money.
✓ Research Relevant Properties
✓ Create Customized CMA for your Home
✓ Explain Price Analysis
✓ Develop Overall Pricing Strategy
ResortQuestDestin.com
A BRIEF LOOK ON
PRICING
Below is a price grid that reflects that properties priced too high attract fewer buyers,
showings and offers. Properties priced at market value generate more buyer interest. Work
with your ResortQuest Sales Associate to price your property to sell.
ResortQuestDestin.com
DETERMINING THE PRICE
The ultimate question of every seller:
What is the best price my property will sell for right now?
!
!
Ask yourself these four questions:
!
1. How quickly do I want to sell my home?
!
2. What is the fair market value of my home?
!
3. What are the relevant properties?
!
4. What will my pricing strategy be?
ResortQuestDestin.com
STABILIZED MARKET
A healthy real estate market will reflect about a 6 month supply of
inventory.
!
When that number declines, we typically will see a sellers market.
When the number increases, it’s a buyer’s market.
Pricing isn’t just important, it’s everything!
As your associate, I cannot change the
market
conditions, but it is my job to show you
how to get your property sold in the
CURRENT
market.
A shift in the market is a shift in power.
Our goal is to use pricing to EMPOWER YOU.
ResortQuestDestin.com
STEP 2
