PRICING: One of the more difficult things in working with a homeowner in the marketing of their property is arriving a proper offering price for the home. It's hard, and sometimes impossible, for the owner of a home to emotionally detached him or herself from the years of memories, personal experiences and, often, just lots of hard work that they put into the property.
There are many, many reasons why homes are put on the market. We see homeowners downsizing after the children are grown. Medical conditions sometimes place individuals in situations where the sale is a must. Selling a home to retrieve equity to supplement retirement is also common.
One thing is true in every situation. The amount of money needed for retirement, medical expenses and the like has no bearing on the value of the home. A homeowner who insists on pricing the home based on current or future financial needs rather than true market value is only worsening the situation.
It's our job, as professional brokers, to assist the homeowner in analyzing current market conditions, reviewing comparable sales and determining the highest and best price for placing the home on the market.
Our clients have found our websites http://www.HomesInDurango.com and http://www.DurangoRealEstate.biz to be very beneficial in keeping up with the Durango real estate market.
