There is no miracle coming to save an overpriced house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing when to reduce the price of your house is not easy, but if you have to do it, you have to do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kenyahomes.co.ke\">Most of the time your real estate agent is the person best qualified to decide when to make the reduction, but ultimately the decision is yours.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is your realtor overpricing your house?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pricing a house for sale is a critical\nequation in any real estate transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Real Estate overpricing is very common with an agent who is worried about where their next transaction will come from. This is however a very big blunder because there is no way an overpriced house will sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> You can bank on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been getting very few showings, have not received an offer and constantly are being told that your house is overpriced you really need to figure out if you want to sell or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t sell the home for what the market tells you it is worth, then you shouldn\u2019t have it for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www. kenyahomes.co.ke\">Trust Kenya Homes to give you the factual figures and watch people scramble to buy that house.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perhaps its not the realtor, its just bad lighting.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you buy your home if you saw it on sale? Detach your emotions and let\u2019s reason here for a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are your pictures attractive? What about\nthe video, do you even have one? Is your \u201cFor Sale\u201d sign in a good position\nwhere it is highly visible? Does it list several different contact numbers and\nthe website address?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest mistake home owners in Kenya make is assuming that the buyer will see through the poor branding and notice the amazing features the house has but have not been highlighted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you catch the drift?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your checklist ticks on all those questions, then the problem goes back to your home being overpriced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can only reduce it once<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, you should price the house at a competitive rate\nand never have to reduce it further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Realistically, the house might not sell and you may be\nforced to reduce the price. Sometimes, the problem is not the agent but you. You\nmay have been so attached to the house that you over inflated its real market value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have arrived to a point of reducing the price,\nnote that multiple price reductions will start to\nmake your home undesirable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t sit pretty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to have done your homework thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kenyahomes.co.ke\">Better yet, get a genuine realtor who will help you tone down the price but remain competitive.<\/a> There\u2019s really no point of selling If you are not getting value for money, is there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully you find a reason to celebrate\nonce you price your house correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use these additional resources to make sounds decisions when pricing a home for sale.<a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/worst-home-selling-advice\/\">https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/worst-home-selling-advice\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Houses set at the right price will always sell If we are to be honest, home owners have little or no knowledge about the real monetary value their houses should fetch.
