Strategy for selling a house - what is the best way to proceed?

Then I would list it for 570k and then see what happens.

Dear Goddess, anything but that! - if you burn a property on the market, it hardly matters with which starting price you began (and even whether it was above or below the "appropriate" price).

I would lean over the fence on the right and left and spread around that my house would be available for around 600k€, the same in the daycare, yoga group, acquaintances, bakery, etc., and then wait.

That is definitely a lot more clever than somewhere online.

What do you think, why so few good houses come into the listing

And one should hold to this strategy with their own offer as well ;-)

Start a poll here in the forum, for that you would have to provide info.....or have answers sent via PM, basically from the expert council :eek:

Can't you just finance flexibly and take the house sale easy at the same time?

Remember, noisy neighbors reduce value …. :)

The price is determined by completely different variables. Given the market situation, you set the price:
- You want to break even, the price is your cost price plus additional costs (450K€)
- You want the new house 1:1 at the "same" price: sales price is cost price of the new house (550-600k€)
- You are patient, want to make money, then set the price outrageously high, wait maybe a year and find the one (stupid) buyer (700k€)
- or … during the viewing the neighbor turns up the radio … (250k€)

I don’t share 11ant’s opinion that a house gets “burned” quickly if it isn’t sold immediately, after all, we’re talking about real estate, with a very limited buyer circle. Before my purchase, I was watching a bungalow from the 70s, detached, 700 sqm plot, 150 sqm living space on the well-known portal in my desired area, the seller wanted 550k€ for the renovation-needy hut, I politely asked if he was new to the market …. the seller held out and after a year the thing was gone. He probably didn’t reduce the price. I saw it significantly cheaper. A few weeks ago another bungalow in the same area was listed for about a week at 600k€, sold …. crazy market.

So for testing you could definitely list the property expensive, floor plan, approximate location, initially no exterior photos and then see ….

I do not share the opinion of 11ant that a house burns down so quickly if it is not sold immediately,

That does not work that way and I did not say that either.

So for testing, one could easily list the property at a high price,

That (burning) works better, at least it is a popular first step ;-)

Floor plan, approximate location, initially no exterior pictures

Above all, every scatter loss is counterproductive. The media used should therefore above all: stay under the radar of all unwanted recipients. The content is then more of a bonus.

and then just see ….

If you have taken the above-mentioned first wrong step, you thereby drive the nail into the coffin.

It doesn't work like that and I never said it did.

It works like that (with the burning) more or less, at least that's a popular first step ;-)

Above all, this applies: every loss of target is counterproductive. The media used should therefore mainly: stay under the radar of all unwanted recipients. The content is then more of an extra.

If you have taken the aforementioned first wrong step, you are then driving the final nail into the coffin.

Basically, you are certainly right. In normal times, I wouldn't suggest or do that either. But right now, every property is selling, there's no burning. At least not if you have enough time for the sale.
