It is also wise to find property that is around the same square footage, same beds, baths, and amenities, like a view, pool, upgraded kitchen, etc. These “comps” as they are called should also have been sold in the last six months or so. Comparing values will help price your property to sell quickly. You can also see what similar properties are listed for, and price yours slightly below to be competitive. It can be advantageous to spend the extra money to have your house appraised.
While spending the extra money to upgrade, fix, and enhance a property may seem like a drag, it could go a long way to help sell your property for top dollar. Be aware though, that not all upgrades and enhancements will be a good investment. It is smart to understand what sells in your market. Go to a few open houses to gage what works and what doesn’t.
All in all, selling without an agent can save you thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars. Just doing a little legwork up front can be worth it!
