Pricing your home right is one of the most crucial things you can do if you want to sell it quickly in the Omaha area. How do you price your home correctly?

The media spends a lot of time talking about rising home prices, but that doesn't mean you can raise the price of your home substantially. If you put it on the market for too much, it's going to sit there for a long time. You'll have buyers come through to look, but getting a solid offer will be difficult.

If you want your home to sell quickly, you need to make sure it's put at a fair market price. This will lure more buyers, increasing the chance you'll get a favorable offer. It's important to remember that a good offer is not just about the price, but the terms of the deal as well. We've seen a lot of multiple offer situations lately when homes are priced right, which is good news if your looking to sell your house.

Both Zillow and Trulia are amazing websites. We advertise with them a lot and they are very helpful in getting good exposure on homes for both buyers and sellers. However, due to their lack of access to a true MLS like the one we use at The Briley Team, their estimates on homes can be a bit off.

You may wonder how these sites are getting an accurate estimate on what your home is worth, but the truth is they really aren't. They are pulling data  from a mixture of county assessors, newspapers, and other listing services that take into account homes in the area, but not your specific home. Each home is unique and it's very common that these online estimates are as much as $100,000 off the actual worth of the home according to the MLS database. This could cause you to pursue a home you can't afford or to not pursue a home you should be.
