Before Selling Your Home
Selling your home yourself can be complicated, consider these important steps before putting your home on the market:
- Get approved for your next home loan.
This is important because you want to know how much house you can afford before you put a contract on your next home. It will also help you determine how much you need to get out of the sale of your current home. - Setting your Price.
One of the biggest mistakes for sale by owners make is over-pricing their home. You want to get the best price from your property and in the quickest time possible. However, over-pricing your home will only limit your chances of selling fast and under-pricing may speed up the process but you lose out in the bargain. - Find out how much it costs to sell. Make sure to factor in:
- Advertising costs
- Any real estate commissions
- Attorney fees
- Property taxes, home owner association fees, and fuel tank rentals.
