A fellow real estate agent shared a story with me concerning pricing homes in this present real estate environment.

Called out to do a market analysis for a couple planning on selling their home, the agent did a careful market study and went back to them with an estimate of pricing. The analysis came in much lower than the homeowners thought it would.

The homeowner got upset with the agent for pricing their home so low. The agent gave them an honest assessment of the market based on what buyers are willing to pay. The buyers set the value, the agents don’t, and the sellers don’t. Supply and market conditions set the pricing.

One of the best pieces of advice I can give a seller who is getting ready to sell is to have an appraisal done by qualified fee appraiser to determine value. This is an independent non-biased opinion. Many of these appraisers do the appraisals for the mortgage companies. (We can supply names and contact information for local appraisers)

The recent mortgage environment has seen many of the lenders cutting the sales prices that buyers and sellers agree on because the mortgage appraiser is not able to successfully show the value agreed to in the contract.
So even if you found a buyer who may be willing to pay an inflated price, the mortgage lender’s appraiser could in fact dispute the sales price as higher than market value. By that time you have lost valuable market time caused yourself added stress and may loose your willing and able buyer.

Feel free to contact me for more sound real estate advice!
