You've decided to sell! Exciting times lie ahead.

But how do we get there? A major step is deciding how to price your home accurately. Here are 7 tips on how to price your home.

1. Don't get emotionally involved. The agent is only presenting data based on current market trends. More often than not, sellers think their property is worth more than it actually is.

Don't get defensive.

The agent is trying to help you maximize the sale value and avoid having your home on the market for a long time.

2. Determine how long you want to wait for your house to sell.

3. Use sales data based on that length of time. If you want to sell in 90 days, look at comparable houses that have sold in the same time frame. If you have a 3-5 year plan, look at the 3-5 years sales data.

4. Once a price is established, have your agent calculate the "absorption rates" at various price levels. Absorption rates tell us how many houses sell in that price range in that location in a period of time.

5. Adjust the asking price based on how long you want to take to sell and what the absorption rates indicate. Different price ranges will yield different days on the market (DOM).

6. When an offer arrives in the first few days, don't be surprised: you did your research. Well done!

7. If you don't get inquiries and offers, the price may be too high and/or the listing reach may not be broad enough; get your listing in front of more sets of eyes.

You've done most of the heavy lifting! Now sit back and let your REALTOR® bring prospective buyers to your doorstep!

When an offer arrives in the first few days, don’t be surprised: you did your research. Well done!

Buying a home is a significant investment.

It can sometimes be challenging to save enough money for a down payment onyour dream home.

Use these 7 tricks to save money for your down payment by stretching your household income.

Evaluate Your Insurance Policies

If it’s been a while since you’ve window-shopped for home and auto insurance, it may be worthwhile to do some comparison shopping. Get quotes from at least three insurers or independent agents; make them compete for your business.

Bundle Cable, Phone, and Internet

You can also save money by bundling your cable, phone, and internet services. Shop around to see who is willing to give you the best deal. If switching is too much of a hassle, ask your current provider to match or beat their competitor’s offer.

Conserve Electricity

Save electricity by installing energy-efficient LED light bulbs. You can minimize standby or “vampire” power drain by utilizing power strips and unplugging idle appliances. Turning your thermostat up or down a few degrees can significantly impact your monthly heating and cooling costs. To maximize efficiency, change your filters regularly, and make sure your windows and doors are well insulated.

Outsource Less

From lawn care to minor home repairs, we often pay people to do many things that we could realistically do ourselves. To save money, try tackling some of these tasks yourself.

Meal Planning

Decide before you shop what you and your family will eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the coming week. It can help lower your food bill, eliminate waste, and minimize impulse purchases. When possible, buy produce that is in season, and utilize nutrient-rich but inexpensive protein sources like eggs, beans, ground turkey, and canned tuna.

Review Memberships and Subscriptions

Are you paying for services and subscriptions you no longer need or use? Determine which ones are worth keeping and ditch the rest.

Track Your Household Budget

One of the most effective ways to reduce household expenses is to set a budget—and stick to it. A budget can help you see where your money is going and identify areas where you can cut back. By setting reasonable limits, you’ll be able to reach your financial goals faster.
