Setting a Fair Price

Naturally, you want to get top dollar for your home. At the same time, you don't want

to scare away potential buyers with a price that is too high. Setting an artificially high

price may cause your home to remain on the market for months.

Reducing your asking price later on may lead buyers to wonder if there is something

wrong with your home. Here are some of the factors to consider in pricing your home.

Your location

Economic conditions

Supply and demand in the local housing market

Seasonal influences

Average home prices in the neighborhood

Your home's upgrades or extras.

For your convenience, I can provide you with an over-the-net home evaluation.

Pre-listing Inspection.

Consider having your home inspected by a professional home inspector before you list. Contact us if you need help locating an inspector. Eventually your buyers are going to conduct a home inspection. You may as well know what they are going to find by getting there first. Having an inspection completed before hand will help in several ways:

It allows you to see your home the way a potential buyer might.

It helps you price your home realistically.

Alerts you to safety issues before anybody tours your home.

It may alert you of items of immediate concern, such as active termite infestation.

It may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency.

It permits you to make repairs ahead of time so that ...

- You have the time to get reasonably priced contractors or make the repairs yourself, if you are qualified.

- Defects won't become negotiating stumbling blocks later.

It reduces your liability by adding professional documentation to your disclosure statement.

Copies of any inspections and receipts for repairs should be made available to potential buyers.

Tax Implications

Selling a home can have a major impact on your federal and state tax returns. Check with your CPA regarding factors that may affect taxes resulting from the sale of your home. For example:

Whether you purchased the home or acquired it by gift or inheritance

Whether you used your home partly for business or rental

Closing costs (link to Who Pays What In Your County form, maybe in Library tab under worksheet/info) associated with selling your home. Find out how much your closing costs could be.

Home improvements or additions, which may help to offset capital gains

The sale of your home. In certain cases you can exclude up to $250,000 in gain ($500,000 for married couples filing a joint return) on the sale of property that was your principle residence for at least two years. Generally, you can use this exclusion every two years.
