Time your sale
Most real estate agents agree that spring and summer are the best months of the year to make transactions and sell a house. In fact, according to statistics, June 28 is the most likely day in the year to close such a deal. Another thing that matters if you want to boost your profit is to take advantage of the “magic window”, as the online real estate database Zillow calls it. According to their report, if you list your home at the end of March, you can sell it 18.5 days faster and for one percent more, compared to listing it at different times of the year.
Set a reasonable sell price
Many homeowners believe it’s a good strategy to set the asking price a bit higher so that they can negotiate until they reach the amount that they want. However, real estate agents recommend pricing your home below market value, not above it.
One of the benefits of a lower starting price is that it will give active buyers the impression that the house will sell fast, and they must act as soon as possible to get this hot deal. Another reason is that it urges buyers who know the market to make competitive offers and it allows sellers to negotiate and choose the most profitable option.
