According to a recent survey, Over Pricing Your Home Is The Biggest Mistake You Can Make. It is very important, in fact it is imperative that you price your home correct the very first time! Why? If you price it to high you limit the buyers in that price range and they won't even look at your home. The objective is to price the home at it's current market value or just below that because you want as many buyers eyes looking at your home. The goal is to find just one buyer who loves your home so much they will do what it takes to buy it and that means offering you more than what you are asking. Maybe even getting multiple offers which begins a bidding frenzy.   Data provided by ActiveRain.com. ActiveRain is an online community of real estate professionals.
