List Price vs Sell Price: El Sereno


PSA 🗣 LIST PRICE IS JUST A MARKETING TOOL


Though studies indicate that pricing a home slightly below market value will drive the most traffic and yield the best returns in terms of offer price and reduced time on the market, sellers are sometimes reluctant to price below market value, worried that they are leaving money on the table. While that will definitely not happen in this sellers’ market, sellers are not obligated to accept any offers they are not satisfied with.


Buyers on the other hand may struggle with the idea of offering tens or even hundreds of thousands over asking price, either because they are more familiar with markets of the past when it was not uncommon for offers to be accepted for less than listing price, or because they feel “deceived” by the strategy of a low list price.


Adding to the confusion, some listing agents take a lot of liberties with what “slightly below market” means, sometimes pricing several hundred thousand below what they project a home can fetch—either intentionally or because this market is so heavily unbalanced in favor of sellers that a desperate buyer may come in well over a projected sell price just to secure themselves the home. 🙃 Further, some less scrupulous agents may promise a seller they can deliver on a higher price just to secure themselves the listing. 👎


That’s why it’s important to work with a team who understands the market and can set you up for success—that’s us! 😉
