ASK A BROKER: What does “priced right” actually mean?

One of the most common things we hear from sellers is, “My neighbor sold for $X, so my house should be worth at least that.”

Maybe. But there’s a lot more that goes into pricing a home.

When we’re determining the right list price, we’re looking at recent comparable sales, current competition, the condition and updates of the home, location, buyer demand and the seller’s timeline.

The goal isn’t simply to put the highest possible number on the listing. It’s to strategically position the home so it attracts the right buyers and has the best opportunity to sell.

That’s where pricing strategy really matters.

They have five business days after completing an investigation to notify you of the results.

Thinking about selling your home next spring? Don’t wait until spring to start planning.

The best time to start preparing is before you’re ready to put the house on the market.

A few things you can do now:
• Take care of those small repairs you’ve been putting off
• Start decluttering and organizing
• Look at what comparable homes are selling for
• Get an idea of what your home may be worth
• Talk through timing and what you’ll need to do to get the home ready

You don’t need to list tomorrow. But having a plan several months ahead can make the process a whole lot easier—and give you more options when the time comes.

If selling in 2027 is somewhere on your radar, I’m happy to help you figure out what you should be doing now and what can wait.

What happens before a home hits the market?

A lot more than putting a sign in the yard.

Before we list a property, we’re looking at:

• Pricing strategy and current market conditions
• What improvements or prep work will make the biggest difference
• How the home will show and photograph
• Staging and presentation
• Professional photography and marketing
• How to position the property to attract the right buyers

Not every home needs the same preparation. Some need a little attention. Others benefit from a more strategic plan before going live.

Our job is to help sellers understand where their money and time will make the most impact—and then position the home to compete in the market.

Because getting a home listed is one thing. Getting it positioned correctly is another.
