Pricing your home can feel a bit squirrelly, like playing with a bowl of slime.

Having a trusted professional is key to a successful outcome.

Let me tell you a quick story.

One of my lovely seller clients was ready to sell their home. We looked at other sold homes in their area and decided on a price.

While they were getting their home ready for market another home in their neighborhood went up for sale for a little more than the price we had decided on EXCEPT it was half the size!

I reached out right away and said let's watch, wait and see.

After two weeks the neighbors house was still on the market. My clients were concerned: would buyers think something was wrong with their house because it was less money than one half the size? I assured them that another sellers expectations of the market does not change the value of their home or their timeline.

My sellers were finally ready to go live on the market. Within days of listing, they had 3 fantastic offers on their home.

This is a perfect example of why correct pricing is so important. Two hundred days later the other house still has not sold. Time IS money.

And as the pace of the market begins to change pricing has become more important than ever.
