Why is pricing your home correctly imperative in our current market?

As our market shifts, we’re starting to see more inventory accumulate. In Collin County, for instance, inventory is up 32% compared to this time last year. With more homes on the market, competition among sellers has increased.

If you price your home at market value, you’ll attract roughly 60% of all buyers in your price range. If you overprice it by 10%, you’ll attract just 30% of the buyers in your price range. If you overprice it by 15%, you’ll only attract 10% of the buyers in your price range.

Your home should not only be priced correctly, but it should be show-ready as well.

If you want to price your home correctly, work with an agent who will show you what comparable homes are selling for and prepare you for what’s coming down the pipeline. Rising interest rates are shrinking the buyer pool and forcing many buyers into lower price brackets, which means your home should not only be priced correctly, but it should be show-ready as well.
