When putting your home up for sale, how do you determine the best asking price? Setting the right price is important for your financial future, and also for selling your home in a reasonable amount of time. You could get an appraisal, or ask your real estate agent his or her opinion about what your house is worth. Even if you get help from others, though, you should study the matter and make sure you're getting as much as you possibly can. To help you arrive at the right selling price, we'll be sharing some helpful recommendations in this article. [http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/short+sale thefreedictionary.com] Remember that when someone buys your home, they're also buying the property it's on. Consider any advantages offered by your lot. If you have a large lot, this will be appealing to many people apart from your house itself. Privacy, views, a garden and trees that provide shade can all make a house more comfortable and attractive. It's important that you (or your realtor) lists every aspect of your property that will make it more attractive to potential buyers. To accentuate the benefits of your property, keep your lawn, yard, driveway, sidewalks, etc. clean and tidy in preparation for showing the house.

While you might think this makes sense if you're not in a big hurry to sell, it can work against you. When a home has been in the listings for a while and hasn't sold, real estate agents and buyers start to ignore it. This becomes what is known as a stale listing. Once a house gets categorized this way, it becomes more difficult to sell at any price. Whether it makes sense or not, if a home doesn't sell after a while, it is perceived as undesirable. [http://www.redfin.com/definition/short-sale Link text] Anyone that has not received a serious offer on their home for quite a while should reassess the asking price for the home itself. Your house must have some appeal if people are actually interested in seeing it. If no one is making an offer, then it is pretty simple - your asking price is more than likely too much. If they are looking at your home, more than likely they are looking at others that are nearby. It is possible they will go for something with a lower price tag if they find a house similar to yours. To win against other homes in your neighborhood, you simply have to lower the price that you are asking. You don't have to lower it drastically, but even five percent can sometimes make a difference. Finding the right price for selling your house can take some time and research. A lot of it has to do with the state of the real estate market in your city, state and neighborhood. It also helps to exercise some patience, as if you're too eager to sell you won't get the best price. You may have to bargain a little, but it's still best to start out with a price that doesn't vary too much from other comparable homes in your area.
