The Risks of Over Pricing
 Reduces sales associate activity
 Minimizes advertising response
 Loses interested buyers
 Attracts the “wrong” buyers
 Discourages or eliminates offers
 Can lead to mortgage rejections
 Helps sell the competition
 Property gets a ‘reputation”
(stale)
 Later price reductions tend to
cause low or delayed offers
Price reductions send the wrong messages!

The Five (5) Fatal Mistakes
Most Home Sellers Make When Pricing Their Home
1. Sellers often price their home based on “need” rather
than the market.
2. Sellers use the ‘wrong’ properties for comparison when
pricing.
3. Sellers build in a ‘negotiating cushion’ and then have
no one with which to negotiate.
4. Sellers take advice from ‘well meaning’ but uninformed
parties.
5. Sellers allow positive emotions about their property
to influence their pricing decisions.
