Selling for the best price – What are the key factors to ensure we price our property correctly?

One of the first questions we ask ourselves is what price should we put on our property?

Here are a few key factors to aid that process:
1. Consider both traditional advertising avenues as well as looking at other options such as the internet to advertise.

2. The more buyers you have competing for your property the better. When you are in negotiations with a potential buyer, let them know you have other interested parties.
3. The method of sale: The majority of For Sale By Owner real estate is conducted under a private treaty. Would your property be more suited to an auction or another method? These can be easily organised even though you are selling privately.
4. The current market: Buyers do their research when buying a property and it is important when selling to conduct your own research. Consider what phase the market is currently in and what properties are selling for. By attending some open homes and auctions you will gain a true understand of what is happening in your area.

What experience have you had in obtaining the best price?
