The difference between a bidding war and a stale listing usually comes down to the first decision you make.
Pricing makes or breaks the sale. The days of listing high and testing the market are over. Buyers here are informed, and overpriced homes get scrolled past rather than negotiated.
The other four: pre-sale inspections that save you money later, staging treated as an investment rather than an option, timing that matters more than most sellers think, and choosing an agent who actually knows your micro-market rather than the region.
All five, in full
The pricing strategy, the recommended inspections, the staging principles, the best and worst months to list, and how to pick the right agent.
This dispatch is a summary. The complete piece is published on harvrealtor.net.
