How to avoid the first mistake that San Diego home sellers make

What's My Home Value?

If you’ve been wondering what's going on in the San Diego housing market, here’s a quick reality check:

  • Approximately 35% of homes never sell the first time they are listed on the market.
  • 60% cut their asking price before selling.

The reason I tell you this is that there's an opportunity to buy at a good deal in this market.

And if you're thinking of selling, don't price your home speculatively.

For example, these speculative sellers say things like,

"If I could get this price, I'd sell."

(usually "their price" is higher than today's market value). 

For buyers, it becomes clear that the price may or may not have been based on today's statistics.

Search New Hot Listings

For sellers, it's evident that unless you price it right, you may not sell.

Here's my simple 3-step strategy that's helped over 1,000 sellers.

1) Determine that you are committed to selling.

2) Then price your home against competing listings, the homes buyers are comparing yours to.

3) Listen to feedback from the market and buyers and implement changes.

Do this right, and you create urgency, competition, and the best chance of selling for top dollar.
