Pricing Impact on Days on Market in LBI Real Estate

Pricing and Days on Market

When selecting the right agent to sell your house on Long Beach Island, you should make sure he or she has a complete understanding of the current market dynamics and how to price a home effectively. The difference between the correct listing price and the wrong listing price can be seen below:
 

A review of single family home sales in Long Beach Township over a 90 day period show the following trends.
 

Homes Without A Price Reduction

  • Total Sales: 32

  • Average Sales Price: $1,079,136

  • Average Days on Market: 117
     

Homes With A Price Reduction

  • Total Sales: 18

  • Average Sales Price: $879,792

  • Average Days on Market: 377
     

The results are nothing short of astounding. Homes that were well priced from the start spent an average of 260 days LESS on the market than homes that required a price adjustment. Roughly twice as many homes sold and the average sales price was also approximately $200,000 higher! The benefits of pricing a home correct cannot be overstated.

REAL ESTATE TIP:

If you negotiate a reduced sales commission make sure that reduction is taken by the LISTING broker only. Unfortunately some buyer agents will either not show or advise again a house with a reduced sales commission and the last thing you want to do is discourage a showing of your house.
