Why It’s Important to Price Your House Right Today
Even in today’s sellers’ market, setting the right price for your house In Orlando Florida is one of the most valuable things you can do. According to the U.S. Economic Outlook by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), existing home prices nationwide are forecasted to increase by 4.5% in 2021. This means experts anticipate home values will continue climbing next year. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist for realtor.com, notes:

How to Price Your House to Sell
When it comes to setting the right price for your house, the goal is to increase visibility and drive more buyers your way. Instead of trying to win the negotiation with one buyer, you should price your house so that demand is maximized and more buyers want to take a look. The more buyers interested the better your chances of getting more offers on your property.
As a seller in today’s Orlando market, you might be thinking about pricing your house on the high end while so many of today’s buyers are searching harder than ever just to find a Florida home to purchase.
But here’s the thing – a high price tag does not mean you’re going to cash in big on the sale. It’s actually more likely to deter buyers concerned about the future of the market.
Right now, even when there are so few houses for sale in Orlando, your house is more likely to sit on the market longer or require a price drop that can send buyers running if it isn’t priced just right from the very beginning.
Why It’s Important to Price Your House Right
Today important to make sure your house is priced correctly by working with a trusted real estate professional throughout the process. When you price it competitively from the start, you won’t be negotiating with one buyer. Instead, you’ll likely have multiple buyers competing for the house, potentially increasing the final sale price.
