Every seller wants to know what their home is worth. But there are two numbers to understand: what it’s worth, and what it’s most likely to sell for in today’s market. They aren’t always the same.
Getting the price right from day one is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make.
Here’s how I approach it.
What goes into the price
- Recent sales of truly similar homes nearby
- What’s on the market now, your competition
- Condition, updates and layout
- Location factors, like lot, street and school
- Current demand in your price range
Why pricing right matters
Homes priced at market value draw the most buyers early, when interest is highest. Overpriced homes tend to sit, and a home that sits often ends up selling for less.
Get your number
I’ll look at your home in person, with a builder’s eye for condition, and give you an honest range. Start with a home value estimate, the seller questionnaire or my home staging guide.
A simple plan for your pricing your home move
I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida for about two decades, and I build and remodel luxury homes too. I’ll help you see both what a property is and what it could be.
Getting the house ready, or making it yours
If you’re selling and want repairs handled before buyers see them, Super Crew Contractors can give you an estimate. If you’re ready for something custom, Ivy Lane Homes does luxury home building and remodeling. And a quick coverage check with Intrinsic Insurance before closing can save you a surprise. For the local picture, read my Chaska homes guide or browse neighborhoods in Chanhassen and Victoria.
