What is market value?
Ultimately, whether we like it or not, buyer’s ultimately determine market value. What someone is willing to pay IS the market value. If what someone is willing to pay is not what you “need”, the variable we need to adjust is TIME. Maybe another 6 months, or in some cases, another 6 years, but only time will eventually lead to increased market value. Just because you “need” an amount does not mean a buyer will pay it.
How To Avoid It:
Get educated on what similar homes to yours have sold for in the last 3 months. Hire an agent with intimate market knowledge of your area and have them present a market report with pricing recommendations. Price your home where it is compelling to buyers based on this data and not on your desires. If it’s too low, you might consider waiting for the market value to increase.
