Realtor Magazine – “Finding a Listing’s Magic Number”
Posted by glenrussell54 under For Realty Professionals, For Sellers, General Information
While browsing through my most recent issue of “Realtor Magazine” i came across an article titled – “Finding a Listings Magic Number.” and felt there were deffinitely some points i wanted to share.
* Pricing a home requires 4 techniques *
1. Employ shock and awe.
Remember economics 101? The simple law of supply and demand? Adam Smith, the grandfather of modern economics said “when an asset is undervalued, the invisible hand of the market corrects the pricing to fair market value.”
By drastically lowering the price on some luxury listings, Amanda DiVito Parle (RE/Max Alliance) created instant demand. She says “I listed a $1 million plus property for $599,900 and a sales professional called and asked if it was correct.”

Often properties can end up selling for more what you’d have originally listed them at. “You need to drop the price so dramatically, that buyers think it’s outrageous.” she says. “They’ll determine the price. They’ll be eager to see the property and create a competitive bidding war!”
2. Set a market – leading price.
“Do your homework on the local market and price the home to lead the market, not chase the market.” says Rick Lawrence (RE/Max Professionals Select) He recommends showing sellers virtual tours of comparables to get them on the same page about setting a price that will lead the market.
3. Pick an exact number.
Ben Kinney, founder of the Home4Investment real estate team, assesses a listing’s value, setting a price to the dollar: $137,368 or $213,348, for example. “Consumers assume that even prices aren’t carefully calculated and probably just a home price thrown out for the sake of it.” At least with Kinney, the notion is correct. He considers all the features of the home to reach a precise number.

4. Don’t get counted out.
It’s not uncommon to price a house slightly under an even price point, say at 199,000 instead of 200,000, to give the home a competitive edge. The trouble is, buyers who search for homes online (an virtually all do) are typically searching a range of prices, Kinney says. So a buyer looking for a $200,000 – $250,000 house wouldn’t even see your $199,000 listing. By knowing the range buyers usually use for a neighborhood, you can price your listing for maximum exposure, Kinney says.

When the offers do start rolling in, take them seriously, McLane says. Sellers sometimes make the mistake of refusing reasonable offers early in the listing period. Help your clients understand that the longer their house sits, the less desirable it may become to active house hunters.
