The most important step in selling your home in Charlotte NC is to make sure your home is priced right. If you or your agent priced your home too high you will not receive the interest in your house that you would have expected. If you price you home too low, you may enjoy a quicker sale but you may also be leaving a lot of money on the table. There are several variables that need to be considered when determining a price for you Charlotte area house. These variables are:
- Number of Bathrooms
- Number of Bedrooms
- Age of your House
- Style of your house
- Square footage
- Lot size
- Condition of your home (interior and exterior)
- Upgrades? (kitchen, baths, fireplace)
- Current state of your market (city and neighborhood)
- How long is it taking similar houses to sell
- What these houses sold for VS. what they were listed at.
All of this information needs to be taken into consideration (along with others) when trying to assess an accurate price point for your house. Pricing you house at the price will allow you to maximize you property prevent you house from sitting on the market, prevent you from paying holding costs during this waiting period (mortgage, insurance, taxes, utilities) and allow for a hassle free sale for you and your family.
