Get the Highest Asking Price when Selling your Home Or at least, get a little closer
we are in a buyers’ market, it can be tricky to even get close to your asking price. There are, however, a few things you can do to help get a little closer, or even actually get your asking price.
There are several forms these tactics can take, but in general they fall into three categories:
Before You Begin… Finish any unfinished rooms or convert any convertible rooms, such as recreational room.Not only does this give an increased amount of usable space, but it can also be used as a sale point, since these are expenses that the buyer won’t have to incur.
Offer to pay their HOA fees for a year. This is a practical buyer benefit. If someone is carefully looking at their budget, then not having to include these fees in their monthly expenses can be a big deal.
offer to pay points If this is done as part of the loan program, then it could lead to the buyer qualifying for a larger loan, or a better interest rate. it could mean lower monthly payments, which can be extremely important to the buyer.
Finally, you can always offer to pay the closing costs. These tend to be something that is a big hit to buyers’ pocketbooks, and is something people don’t adequately budget for when shopping for a new house.
real incentives tend not to be cheap, but they can mean the difference from having to drop your asking price by quite a few thousand, or actually getting what you want!
The key to choosing which incentive to go for is to think about what incentive works best for you, and then think about what kind of audience you are playing to.
