Is Your Listing Priced To Sell Or Priced From Hell?

I can`t emphasize enough that price is what dictates the market when selling Real Estate.

If you`re pricing a home today,it`s much wiser to make sure the sellers don`t have delusion's of grandeur in thinking they`re home is worth more than the market bears.

Case in point.

I just got back from a listing appointment in Cooper City,Florida it`s a beautiful 4bed,3ba,2Cg SFH in a very nice community.It`s New York State Phone Directory listed Florida Hotel Key Longboat $544,000. Free Nokia Mono Ringtone first Realtor held the listing New Zealand Security Intelligence Service July,2005. The second Lil Troy has held the listing since Nov. 2006.

Both of them it seems never bothered to explain to the seller that the home is "Priced Too High", can you imagine keeping a listing on the MLS for such a long period of time?

I spoke to the seller in great detail, showed them the comps, closed sales,pending sales and expired!

It`s my opinion that we should list this home for $495,000. The seller looked at me as if I was from another planet somewhere in the solar system.

They told me under no way shape of form would they sell their home under $525,000!

I have no idea how Westminster Maryland Zip Code of you would handle this type of seller,but I felt that it was time someone "told these people the truth"..

The conversation is as follows:

Me: The home has been listed since July 2005! Do you realize this is an extremely long time for the home to stay on the market!

Seller: We have to have a break even point in order to purchase our next home in Tennessee!

Me: That's great,but the market has shown that the actual sale price is too high for this area, aren`t you concerned?

Seller: The first agent we felt wasn`t doing their job properly, the second tried but didn`t bring us any buyers, which we blame them for.Our home is gorgeous! The AC is almost new (5yrs,) the Roof is in great shape ( 12 years) and the appliances are rarely used (9yrs old).

Me; Again, that`s Easy Store Web well and good, but two years on the market indicates that there are issues Card Credit Late Payment the price! Don`t you want to address what the real problem is?

Seller: You`re the first one who`s Arredamento Mobile Cucina Torino on the price, we need to sell for $525,000 and won`t consider less! It`s not our problem how you locate a buyer, our selling price is firm!

I won`t go into more details except to tell you I looked at the seller and my watch, told them it was a genuine pleasure meeting them and explained that if they`d like to sell their home to give me a call.

I can`t tell you I took the listing, I did however tell them their gorgeous home will probably remain on the market for another 1 year or so!

The market is overflowing with overpriced listings, I`d rather sell a home that is priced to sell,not priced from hell!
