Seller’s Guide to Pricing Right

Why Pricing Matters More Than Ever

The first two weeks your home is on the market are the most important. That’s when it gets the most attention from buyers and agents. If it's overpriced, it risks being overlooked. If it’s priced right, it creates urgency—and can even spark bidding wars.

What happens when you overprice?

• Fewer showings

• Longer time on the market

• Price reductions

• A weaker negotiating position

• Ultimately, a lower selling price

Buyers have more information than ever before. If your home is priced above what the market supports, it can quickly become "stale."

What Determines the Right Price?

1. Comparable Sales (Comps)

We analyze recent sales of homes similar in size, age, location, and condition. For example, if you're in Middletown, we’ll look at other recent Middletown sales—not the city average.

2. Current Market Conditions

Louisville’s housing market changes with seasons, interest rates, and inventory. Are homes selling in days or sitting for weeks? Our team closely monitors these trends so your pricing reflects real-time market behavior.

3. Your Home’s Unique Features

Does your home have a finished basement, updated kitchen, or oversized lot? These details can add value—but only if they align with what Louisville buyers are currently seeking.

The Online Estimate Trap

Zillow “Zestimate's” and other online tools might seem helpful—but they can be off by tens of thousands of dollars. They use broad data and can't account for:

• Upgrades or renovations

• Neighborhood variations

• Current market shifts

• Your home’s actual condition

Before you base your price on an algorithm, let a local expert take a look.
