mhcjgds | How do we price a house we are wanting to sell? |
We have the comps from the area and have a ball park figure that we are thinking of, however there are some issues that need to be addressed. The roof and AC are due for replacement in the next year, the carpet should be replaced (just old); etc. Do we take out for that in our asking price or use that as a "we'll give you x amount of $ off" We don't have the $$ currently available to get all that fixed.
Just using round numbers, comps arount the area for similar homes are at $200K. With estimates, etc it will take about $7-10K to get repairs / replacements. Do we ask for 190K and note that the 10K less is for the repairs?
Additional Details
We have an appt with a real estate agent in just over a week to come by the house. I am just looking for some experienced opinions before we meet with her. |

The potential buyer will not be able to get a mortgage loan without an accurate apprasial done by a professional in writing. The amount of money you deduct from your asking price should be negotiated between you and the seller based on the apprasial amount.
The apprasial will reflect the decrease in value based on the repairs needed. In other words just because your house may potentially appraise at $200,000 in perfect condition, but needs repairs as you mentioned the roof, air conditioning, and carpeting, doesn't mean the current apprasial amount is going to be $200,000. |

First. You can get your home on MLS, realtor.com, yahoo.com and HELPMESELL.com for the price of an average weekend classified ad. You can still sell by owner and pay 0% commission.
Second. Go to http://appraisers.com and ask a few appraisers to give you a range. Agents will often inflate the value of the home just to get the listing. Watch any one of the flip shows or sell this house kind of shows on TLC or Discovery and you'll know that what I say is true. Then a few weeks later when you get no bites they say lower the price.
Third. Choose a list price and don't note anything as you mentioned in your question. Go to realtor.com and look for homes in your area in your price range with the same number of beds and baths. Then put yourself in the buyer seat. Based on price and location does your home get your buyer vote. Be ready for a low ball offer. Would you offer yourself 190k?
Be realistic. Get massive exposure. Get Sold! |

I would just lower the price. Noting anything about repairs on a purchase agreement, could cause problems with the buyer's lender. |

You already have a good estimate of what the place is actually worth. Confirm it with zillow.com. If you are under no pressure to sell the place quickly, add a bit for haggling room and list it for that. I'd probably ask $198,500. |

The best way is to get it appraised, |

List it for 200k and give 10k to the buyer at closing for repairs. Or you could list it for 190k "as is" and sell it as a handy man special. |

I think you are on the right track, price it to sell, and it will. I wouldn't state that you are the 10k off is for repairs. Have your Realtor bring comps, pick your price. Just because the roof and A/C are due for replacement next year, they are servicable now, and there are a ton of people out looking for fixer properties.
Price it right and they will come. |

Get an assesment from a professional as to the value of your home.
Price it around that estimate.
Then get estimates for the cost of the repairs so that you have a bargaining tool if any potential buyer raises the issue. |

Look in the phone book for a real estate company in your area that does free evaluations. They will come to your property and give you an honest appraisal of what your property should be listed for. Of course, they will try to convince you to sign with them to sell it - but you are under no obligation to do so if you are intent on sale by owner. My experience ( not too pleasant) with an attempt at owner sale leads me to advise you to go ahead an sign with an agent. Had we done so from the start, we could have saved ourselves months of time and major headaches trying to navigate the process. That is what a good real estate agent will do for you. It is worth the money in the long run. |
