Sound Bites

“It is crucially important that sellers price their homes correctly right out of the gate. We know it is difficult in today's volatile market to place the correct price on any property. However, the consequences to the seller if the home is not priced correctly can be severe for two reasons. First, in a market where prices continue to decline, any additional time taken to sell the home only means a lower selling price. The other reason: research has shown that properties that have experienced price adjustments wind up taking longer to sell and sell for less money no matter what the current market conditions are.”
