You can make all the necessary repairs to your home: clean it, stage it, maybe even remodel it. But there are some factors that may impact the eventual sales price of your home Central Texas that are out of your control. So, regardless of how impeccably you’ve maintained the home and despite its ideal location, one or more of these circumstance may rear its head and dash those dreams of riches at the closing table.


1. The condition of the current market



Then, there are interest rates. When they rise, affordability is pressured and many are priced out of the housing market and when they fall, folks clamor to buy homes due to increased affordability. Therefore, the overall strength of the economy may help dictate the eventual sale price of your home.

2. Neighborhood changes







3. Your real estate agent

While pricing a home for the market isn’t rocket science, it’s also not something that an inexperienced or non-local agent can do and meet with success. It takes years to learn how to properly research a real estate market, to learn how to find truly comparable homes and all of the various other factors that go into determining a home’s current market value. If your listing agent comes up with the wrong price, your bottom line is impacted.

Overpriced homes are notorious for eventually selling for far less than expected. On the other hand, experienced buyers’ agents know how much homes in a particular area are worth and won’t even show their clients overpriced homes. So, they sit on the market. The listing becomes stale and agents and buyers think there must be something wrong with the home, creating a hard to shake stigma.
