Benefits of Properly Pricing Your Home:

Faster Sale: The proper price gets a faster sale, which means you save on mortgage payments, taxes, insurance and other carrying costs.

Less Inconvenience: As you may know, it tales a lot more time and energy to prepare your home for showings, keeping the property clean, making arrangements for the pets and children and generally altering your lifestyle. Proper pricing shortens market time.

Increased Salesperson Response: When salespeople are excited about a property and it's price, they make special efforts to contact all of their potential buyers and show property whenever possible. 

Exposure to More Prospects: Pricing at market value will open your home up to more people who can afford it.

Better Response From Advertising: Buyer inquiry calls more readily converted into showing appointments when the price is not a deterrent.

Higher Offers: When a property is priced right, buyers are much less likely to make a low offer, for fear of losing out on a great value.

More Money To The Sellers: When a property is priced right, the excitement of the market produces a higher sales price in less time. You NET more due to the higher sales price and lower carrying costs.

Drawbacks of Over-Pricing Your Home:

Reduced Activity: Agents won't show the property if they feel the price if too high.

Lower Advertising Response: Buyer excitement will be with other properties that offer a better value.

Loss of Interested Buyers: The property will seem inferior in amenities to other properties in the same price range that are priced correctly.

Attracts The Wrong Prospects: Serious buyers will feel that they should be getting more for their money.

Helps The Competition: The higher price will make other homes look like a deal.

Eliminates Offers: Since a fairly priced offer will be lower than asking price and may insult the seller, many buyers will just move on to another property.

Causes Appraisal Problems: Appraisers must base their value on what comparable properties have sold for.

Lower Net Proceeds: Most of the time an overpriced property will eventually end up selling for less than if it has been properly priced to begin with, not to mention the extra carrying costs.
