Appropriate pricing 'the key to sales success'
Appropriate pricing is the key to ensuring a house is sold in the
current market, an expert has stated.
Business development director at property website Mouseprice
Jonathan Upton commented: "A property marketed at the right price
is going to generate far more interest than one which might be
perceived as being overvalued."
Mr Upton noted that the early part of the year is the busiest time
and that it is normal for demand to increase in the spring.
Realistic pricing could be beneficial for first-time buyers as it
may help ensure they are not being asked to pay more for a home
than is appropriate in the present market.
The latest Rightmove House Price Index revealed that asking prices
have been falling.
This month the figure is £213,570, down 1.9 per cent from
December and 7.3 per cent from January 2008.
