The most important decision you make when listing your Boston condo or home for sale is how to price it.Even in this sellers' market, overpricing your property has serious consequences.To understand how best to price a residential property, I find relevant homes and condos that have sold, are pending, or are available. These properties being studied are known as comparables.While I analyze similarities or differences in neighborhood, square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and more, this process also considers the type of building a unit is located in, its placement within the building, renovations that have been done, how much light there is, how high the ceilings are, what parking options there are, how the local real estate market is currently behaving, and more.Your home will attract the most motivated buyers as soon as it goes on market. If its priced too high, you will not get those serious buyers in tosee it. If you don't get those folks in, that's a serious problem.I have been making these analyses for more than two decades. Whether your property is located in BostonsSouth End,Back Bay,Beacon Hill,South Boston,Waterfront,North End,oranyof the core downtown neighborhoods or surrounding communities, I can give you good advice on pricing.In the past 12 months, my listings have sold for an average of 103% of their asking price, with 4 median days on market until an offer was accepted.What is your property worth?In my 25 years in the Boston real estate market, Ive made it my priority to develop anextensive knowledge of the city, neighborhoods, buildings, people, and the many issues involved in the local real estate market.Doyou have questions about buying or selling Boston real estate?Please call me at617-584-9790, or email me by clicking the blue button below.
There are some sure signs ofthe arrival of Spring in Boston: The return of the swans to the Public Garden; the Boston Flower & Garden Show; the running of the Boston Marathon; and of course opening day at Fenway Park. While none of those things have happened quite yet, there's one spring activity that's already warming up theBostoncondo market.Transitioning out of the winter season, moreproperties are starting to come on the market. We still expect to see the historically low inventory we've been seeing the last several years, however. I know I've been saying this for a few years, butit's still true:If you've been thinking of selling your Boston condo or home, this is still a good time to sell. We don't know how long mortgage rates willstay where they are (they have been slowly creeping upwards), but for now there is still pent-up demand for Boston properties.The"Supply & Demand" graph above illustrates the number of Boston residences that have gone under agreement for purchase in the 30 day period ending March 15, 2017. It also shows how many listings were available at the end of that same period. As you can see from the graph, a new phase of low supply began in 2013 and it has remained low every year since then. Only now are we seeing a slight incline back up to 2013 supply numbers.When we compare the amount of properties under agreement against the number available, we get what is known as an absorption rate. The rate is seen in months of supply, with most analysts considering a balanced market to be a three month supply. We currently have about 1.27 months supply citywide. When the supply is lower than balanced, we see upward pressure on prices.Even under the best sellers' market conditions,its still very important to price your homeright from the start. My goal when listing a home is to capitalize on the motivation of serious buyers, and those are the buyers who will visit the listing within the first couple of weeks it is on market.I refer to pricing your Boston home correctly asone of four vital components to selling with a good outcome.What's Your Property Worth?For 25 years now, I have helped people buyhomes and condominiums in Boston and its suburbs.I've developed anextensive knowledge of the city, neighborhoods, buildings, people, and the many issues involved in the local real estate market. I would love to help you, too.nIfyouhave been thinking about selling your Boston home or condo, or have questions about buying or selling Boston real estate, pleasecall me at617-584-9790.
