Another important consideration is the market. To be safe you want to allow yourself enough wiggle room to come down in negotiations, but if it’s a buyers’ market you will have to do more to make your home stand out. Pricing your home below the competition should ensure multiple offers, thus driving up the selling price. Other tactics include being flexible around financing options and offering incentives. In any case, you want to price your home low enough that you will get traffic through – the first three weeks are important. If the house sits longer than three weeks perspective buyers may assume something’s wrong with it.
In a seller’s market it’s safe to add 10 per cent to the last comparable sale in your neighborhood and in a balanced market you may aim to add an amount based on the last comparable sale plus the average market increase calculated over the time since that sale.
Remember, pricing your house is as much an art as it is a science. In the end the price is important, but marketing and staging your home plays a vital role as well. A good realtor can guide you through this process and help you get the best price for your house.

31Real Estate Investing: Pre-Foreclosure Secrets
Posted By: Ramon Rivas on July 31, 2010 at 11:19 amLocation, Location, Location
In real estate investing, you will drive yourself insane looking at properties in random areas of the country or state. You need to select your location first and then see what properties are available. It’s no good buying a beautiful mini mansion in Ohio if there haven’t been any significant sales in that town for ten years. Once you get your location chosen, then you can focus on the properties.
Many in real estate investing prefer to work with preforeclosure properties than ones already in foreclosure. You not only feel good helping the homeowner out a little bit, but you can often save as much as 40 of the house’s market value.
Don’t be surprised if the homeowner doesn’t answer the phone or the doorbell. They may be scared that you are a bill collector. They may also feel shame and confusion. Be patient. Slip a note under their doors if you have to, just to let them know that you are not a bill collector or their lenders.
Talk To Your Accountant
In order to save more money, those in real estate investing may be entitled to a large rebate for every foreclosure or preforeclosure piece of property they buy. This is due to the Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2008. However, since tax laws seem to change by the minute, don’t count on the rebates. If they happen – great, but do not gamble everything on getting a whopping great rebate check.
