Right Pricing Still Sells Houses

Leave a Comment Written by Shanna


Turns out, at least according to a recent NAR survey, it’s not the tax credit that’s motivating buyers—not primarily anyway. It’s more wanting to own a home and finding good pricing.

from “Cheaper Prices–More Than Tax Credit,” U.S. News & World Report:

  • “But in a recent NAR survey, only 6 percent of first-time home buyers—who made their purchase during the 12 months ending last June—cited the tax credit as the primary reason behind their decision.”
  • The article goes on to say:

  • “The tax credit was the fourth-leading ‘primary’ reason first-time buyers made their purchase, according to NAR’s 2009 profile of home buyers and sellers. At 62 percent, the desire to own a home was the leading reason, followed by the affordability of homes (10 percent) and a change in family situation (8 percent).”
  • So what does this mean for you as a home seller?

    1. Don’t rely on tax credits to motivate buyers towards your property.
    2. Be proactive in pricing aggressively to attract interest.
