I wanted to share some thoughts on a topic that's super important for anyone looking to sell their property – marketing it at the right price. May sound obvious but alas some sellers are still swayed by the agent suggesting the highest selling price.

At Boydens, we've got a pretty solid track record when it comes to pricing properties right. In fact, we’re currently running at a 97% marketing to sale price ratio. So, let's look at why getting the price right matters, and how we achieve these results.

Attracting Serious Buyers

Pricing your property accurately is key to attracting serious buyers. If your property is overpriced, it’s likely to sit on the market for ages without much interest. The sweet spot is a price that reflects the true market value, making it attractive to buyers who are ready to make an offer.

Maximising Your Return

The ultimate goal is to get the best possible return. An accurate price means you’re not leaving money on the table, nor are you scaring off buyers with an inflated price. It’s all about hitting that perfect balance where buyers see the value.

Reducing Time on the Market

Properties that are priced right tend to sell faster. This not only saves you from the stress of prolonged selling periods but also reduces costs associated with maintaining a property that’s up for sale. A quicker sale means you can move on to your next venture without the property lingering on your mind (and wallet).

Ensuring Smooth Transactions

Overpricing can lead to complications down the line, especially when it comes to appraisals and financing. If a buyer agrees to an inflated price but the appraisal doesn’t match up, it can cause all sorts of issues, potentially derailing the sale. Accurate pricing helps avoid these pitfalls, making the whole process smoother for everyone involved.
