Seller’s Can’t Afford to Overprice Their Home
Days on Market and Price Received Correlation
Though the nation’s mortgage industry is tumultuous at best, the peninsula market in the Bay Area is faring much better.
Last month 17 homes sold as compared to 14 in 2006 and off the high of 25 in 2005.
Of those 17 sales eight sold over the seller’s asking price, two sold at asking and seven homes sold under asking.
The average time it took to sell a home was 39 days. Of the homes which sold over asking however, they took only 18 days to sell and on average sold for 3.61% over what the seller was asking. Seller’s which received their asking price took on average 40 days to sell, and homes which sold under the asking price averaged 56 days on the market and sold for 5.26% less than their original asking price.
Clearly, pricing a home correctly remains a crucial factor in getting the most for a home. These numbers illustrates a swing of almost 9% in what a seller received between a home priced to sell quickly and one which lingered on the market.
