💰 Pricing Strategy Worksheet
Price It Right. Sell Smart. Stay Competitive.
🧠 1. Understand the Power of the Right Price
Pricing is everything. Homes priced too high get overlooked. Homes priced right from day one attract more offers, faster.
- 📉 According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), overpriced homes receive 60% fewer showings and sit on the market 3x longer than properly priced ones.
- 💸 Redfin reports that homes requiring a price reduction sell for 5–10% less than similar homes priced correctly from the start.
📊 2. Start with the Comps (Comparable Sales)
Use recent, nearby home sales (last 3–6 months) with similar features.
- Use at least 3–5 comps.
- Match location, size, upgrades, age, and condition.
- Adjust for differences (e.g., pool, garage, lot size).
🔍 3. Analyze Active & Pending Listings
Look at your current competition.
- Are similar homes selling faster or sitting longer?
- What upgrades or features do they offer that yours doesn’t?
- Where does your home fit in the lineup?
- 📊 Redfin notes: The first 7–10 days on market are the most critical—you’ll get peak online visibility and buyer attention during this time.
⏱ 4. Days on Market = Market Feedback
Pay close attention to your listing’s time on market.
-
0–10 Days: Strong activity? Price is on point.
-
10–20 Days: No offers? Evaluate condition and price.
-
20+ Days: Little to no interest? You may need a price adjustment.
- 🚨 Homes that linger on the market lose urgency and often receive lower offers as buyers question why it hasn’t sold
🛠 5. Adjust Based on Market Response
Ask:
-
Are you getting showings?
-
Are buyers asking questions but not making offers?
-
Are you receiving lowball offers?
These are signs your price may be too high.
- 📉 Redfin: Sellers who drop price within the first 30 days are twice as likely to sell than those who wait 60+ days to adjust.
