In NSW real estate it is well known that the basic rule of the market ‘buy low, sell high’ is a driven element. If you are selling your property in NSW, your real estate agent and you should negotiate and agree on an approximate value of the house. However, with industry databases and property appraisals this changes the estimate price of the property.  For example, you determine your house is worth around $500,000 based on other market considerations and similar properties being sold in your neighbourhood. 

The next important thing is to understand the price range for the list price – let’s call it the range of “haggling.” For the above assumed $500,000 value of the property, the price range should be somewhere between $480,000 and $520,000. The price range to sell a house in Sydney depends on market conditions, competing properties, time of year etc. The more expensive the property is, the higher the price range.

A first open home should get off with a bang. Invite your family and friends for an open home tour and ask their advice, as well as bringing in associates and friends of your friends and family that might also have some interest in your home. This should be done when your home is ‘market ready’. If you have hired a Real Estate Agent is they can also invite prospective buyers interested in similar properties to come to the open home.  These open homes can also turn into a quick sale as someone there might want to purchase the home with it being ‘market ready’.
