Some Home Sellers Optimize For Speed, Convenience or Certainty Instead Of Price
By Scott Rogers • August 5, 2022
What are you optimizing for? price? time? convenience? certainty? As a home seller, you are always optimizing for something. PRICE - Maybe you are willing to wait as long as it takes to get the price that you want for your house. Even if it takes months longer than you had hoped and even if it means that you aren't able to continue on with other life transitions that you had planned, at least you go the price you wanted. TIME - Maybe it's important to you that you wrap up your home sale (have the house under contract) within a few days or weeks. If so, you might be willing to price your home a bit lower to maximize the possibility that you accomplish your timing goals. CONVENIENCE - Maybe your strategy for when you list your home and your pricing strategy all revolve around making it a seamless transition to your next home. You're willing to be flexible on timing and on pricing so long as it lets you accomplish your goals of buying that perfect next home. CERTAINTY - Some sellers don't mind working their way through inspection contingencies, but some would opt for a slightly lower priced offer without an inspection if that meant they would have certainty that the sale would move forward. When your home is on the market, you're always optimizing for something. Be sure you know what you are optimizing for and make sure that is your intention!
