One of the most daunting parts of selling your home is deciding what to price it at. You don’t want to price too high and get little to no traction, but you don’t want to price too low and undervalue your home. There are so many things to take into consideration, so we’ve outlined the top 3 things you should do before you list.

Enlist the help of a local expert. Local agents have years of experience in the market you are selling in, plus have a lot of industry expertise to bring to the table. They will factor in the unique offerings of your home and neighborhood, as well as your wants and needs for the sale of the home to help you properly price.  We personally suggest using a Yancey Realty agent!

Research homes for sale in your neighborhood.It’s always a good idea to do a little recon on homes for sale in your area. View current and past listings online to find homes that have similar features and were built around the same year as yours to get an idea of prices. Open house in your neighborhood? Take time to pop by in person and get a feel for what their home has to offer at what price.

Remove the emotion. Whether it's your first or fourth home, it is the setting of so many amazing memories and holds a special place in your heart. Unfortunately, emotional attachment to your home can cloud your judgment when pricing it. Try to place your personal feelings about your home on the back burner and focus on tangible features of your home that add great value.
