When buyers have choice they can become indecisive, selective and cautious before settling on the \u201cright\u201d property.<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you are selling, this puts a huge onus on you to ensure that your property absolutely shines in relation to other properties that are competing for your buyers\u2019 attentions and, ideally, affections. However, this is not the time to listen to the fawning estate agent who suggests a massively inflated asking price, in order to secure your \u201cvalued instruction\u201d.Having said that, we are seeing some impressive figures being achieved, although this is always relative.<\/p>\n

For example, if your property is going to look good next to the others that are available, the price not only has to be correct\u2013it has to be attractive. Imagine a \u00a310note. It is definitely worth \u00a310-but could you actually sell it for \u00a310?Probably not, but at \u00a39 you would have so many people fighting over it that its value would actually rise!In the same way, we find that well-priced properties attract more buyers, which in turn pushes the price up!<\/p>\n

Likewise, if your property is slightly better than others on the market, don\u2019t offset this by quoting a slightly higher price than theirs! In other words, make your property the best in the market when compared to others at the same price, and the best-priced property when compared to others of the same size\/location\/condition.If yours shines, you can expect an excellent sale price and a faster sale.<\/p>\n

Finally, listen to your agent\u2019s advice. Only they have a good handle on buyers\u2019 immediate requirements, how the buyer perceives value and, importantly, vital buyer information as to what else they have seen and how it compares with yours.Why not let us help you use this to your advantage?
