It’s easy when you’re thinking about selling your home to buy into all the misinformation out there about market conditions, pricing, etc. You hear it from your neighbors, your friends, the news, etc. After all, it’s an emotional thing… we’re all emotionally attached to our homes, so we naturally want to believe everything we hear that would lead us to believe that our home may be worth more than it really is. It’s much easier to believe that it’s worth more, than it is to believe that it’s worth less.
Fact is though, removing your emotions and looking at your home objectively (just like every buyer will) is the biggest challenge in placing yourself in a competitive position to sell your home, rather than watching it flounder on the market for months.
Being an agent who focuses heavily on listing and marketing homes, this is something I deal with on a regular basis, of course. Apparently I’m not the only one, as evidenced by this blog post, which makes a few of these same points in pretty straight-forward fashion. While the writer may be blunt, he’s spot-on with his points.
