Price Your Home Right
Step 1 of 12 · 2–4 weeks before listing
Pricing is the single most important factor in a successful FSBO sale. A well-supported price attracts qualified buyers without leaving equity behind.
Your Checklist
- Research recent comparable sales for similar homes near yours.
- Use public listing sites as reference points, not as a substitute for professional judgment.
- Account for condition, upgrades, lot size, and local disclosure rules.
- Consider a licensed appraiser for a defensible valuation.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using only automated estimates without reviewing comparable sales.
- Choosing a price based on what the seller needs rather than current buyer expectations.
- Ignoring condition, repairs, and location differences between homes.
What This Can Cost If It Goes Wrong
An unsupported asking price can reduce qualified interest, extend time on market, or leave you without a clear basis for an appraisal or offer discussion.
