Selling

Due to the significant price appreciation and low inventory many Metro Atlanta neighborhoods have experienced, this is a great time to sell. However, a common mistake made my homeowners is overpricing their house at the start. Although inventory in many areas is still very low buyers are becoming more selective. When prices reach a certain threshold buyers have less of a sense of urgency. At certain price points they expect the house to be in good condition, have certain finishes and basically be move-in ready. Overall this is good for the real estate market since buying decisions are based less on speculation. In contrast to a couple of years ago when bidding wars were common and buyers were paying any price to get a house, in today’s market it’s extremely important to price your house appropriately at the very start. Overpricing your house initially, even by only a few thousand dollars, can end up costing you much more if the listing stays on the market for too long.
