Selling in Today’s Market

You can take steps to make selling your home easier. If you want to sell your home, you will face a market of declining home prices.

To sell today, you need to set your asking price lower than what you think your property worth. Include the original and current asking price on Internet ads and flyers. If your asking price is too high, potential buyers will balk at your irrational monetary expectations.

You need to know the sale prices of comparable homes in your area to negotiate. Set a price that’s slightly under the market value or up the ante by offering to a contribution toward closing costs.
