Regardless, pricing it at or just below the "market" is the key to a relative quicker sale.
Yes, and the market here is hot right now. Our house listed over the $350 mark. We were told the homes between 200-300 sell the quickest so we figured we might take longer. We had two agents give us a price and used their numbers as our bench mark actually selling it for more than either agent thought we would get. Our biggest selling point was our waterfront view. So we marketed that with the ad.
