What we need to know about the right pricing as it relates to your home and selling your home this year.

You do not want to give buyers a perception that something is wrong with your house by pricing it high and then waiting too long to reduce your price. If you start off and price it right from the beginning, you're going to be a much better situation. It's really important that you find a marketing plan or realtor that has an actual market marketing plan.

"You can price your home higher and you can bring it down."

In this episode, we decide whether it's good to buy a home right away or should we wait the next year. I recommend that you buy now because the interest rates are low hence you're going to pay less for the home that you want. If you wait next year there may be a tendency that the interest rates go up and you end up paying more and losing more money. So I emphasize that you buy now to get ahead and get your money's worth.
