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

So I thought I’d try listing it at 520k. Opinions?

My opinion remains: if you also list online, then not with a concrete price. Whether 520 or 560k fits, I have no opinion on that (but the method of determination has already been discussed here, you can apply it yourself).

Yes, I have also thought about the 500k filter. Presumably, quite a few people in this rural area still have that set, which is why I am considering listing at 499 as well.

499 sounds greedy, in the sense of “pushing the filter limit to get as much as possible,” worse would only be 499,999; close to the filter limit I would rather consciously go over it, for example 502. But as I said, I would avoid concrete numbers in the online listing. If a value has to be entered there, then 654,321, to make the pro forma character of the number immediately obvious.

what speaks against listing the same property with both values on the portals?

520 and 549? Oh dear, just not that: the first thought would be that this is once the co-broker’s price and once the price without a broker—with a delta of 29k. Or even worse: an old and a new price, but the old listing was not removed (which looks unkempt / sloppy / confusing).

I would list the house—assuming you wanted to sell it for 520 to 550k—neither at 520 nor at 549, but rather in two stages simultaneously: in a coded ad “at a fair price to solvent buyers in the order of 5**.000 euros, description see Scout-ID 08154711,” in the online listing limit myself to the description, provide no more than about a dozen photos and offer further images upon request, use a formulation like “a fair price will be found in personal conversation upon serious interest,” and if it is necessary to enter a price in the listing, then as said for example “654,321.” The fact that this value is clearly above 500k firstly uses the filter to your advantage (those who have set under 500 won’t see the offer at all), and unlike 520k it also won’t give anyone the idea to play the last price colleague. Better than ignoring someone is not having to ignore them at all. You are best off not even coming onto the radar of crackpots and the like.

Now you come to Kathi with "chiffre ads"? Kathi wants to see results, BAM, posted, viewed, presented, sold." Chiffre ads are just for "people looking for like-minded rubber boot wearers during sex."

There are also other tricks to get prices under the filters without actually getting less money. For example by separately listing certain things like kitchen, parking space, photovoltaic. And don’t you dare think that such a parking space is worth less than 10k ;)

With such offers, I immediately lose interest because I feel like I’m being made a fool of. Even if people have set a limit of 500K€, they probably still look beyond that out of pure curiosity (or because no properties are shown under 500K€) ....

what’s wrong with listing the same object on the portals with both prices?

How do you come up with such a "strategy"? Ultimately, it leads to potential buyers laughing their heads off (in the best case) and ignoring the offer (then the offer would actually be burnt). Or maybe then inserting a third time for 1.5 million? For the more solvent buyer group ....

worse would only be 499,999; close to the filter limit

€499,999.99, want to buy? :p

I think the tips are getting more useless here. Actually, the strategy should have been clear for a long time.

What else I could think of (as a useless tip): With pictures, the style "Reflekto-Porn" works quite well, maybe add that here and there .... :D

Met online, flew to Australia, 3 weeks of adventure, then "all or nothing" decision, he spontaneously quit his job there and was with me in Germany 5 weeks later, never left again. 3 months later we were married. ♥

And still in the trial phase (like after marriage, child, house building)? (the dating profile should probably be deleted?)
OK, THAT would be a bit spontaneous for me .... so rather NOT let your husband sell the house, otherwise he might later trade it for a warehouse with Parmesan.

Now you still come at Kathi with "chiffre ads"? Kathi wants to see results, BAM, posted, viewed, presented, sold". Chiffre ads are just for "rubber boot wearers with the same mindset looking for sex".

That is absolutely not true. An acquaintance advertised her house exclusively and only once via a chiffre ad in the local daily newspaper. Even without a price indication, which was only given over the phone. Only the year of construction, living area, and plot size. She received about 70 inquiries (including from me :D). Of course some real estate agents but also some serious potential buyers. Of course the market in Bavaria is probably drier, but a chiffre ad does no harm. In the worst case, you just don’t respond to dubious contacts.

You can also simply click on "Anzeige erstellen" at Immoscout and see how many people would receive a notification at the respective price. This will be shown to you...

Earlier on FB, a film about the "real estate boom" in the Eifel was shown to me. Two realtors talk about how prices have risen in their rural area and what supply and demand are like despite the rural structure.

If I were you, I wouldn’t have any concerns and would try starting with a 5. Families who can’t afford a comparable and especially new house in the city for over €600,000 might be able to afford yours a bit further out for, say, €520,000. If you no longer have to commute daily, the distance really doesn’t matter; other factors count then, priorities have simply shifted.

If you argue that the potential buyers all only receive the offers via search filters, then you can make two groups on your offer. One for 550K and one for 450K... I don't understand "verbrennen"... if someone is interested in the offer, that person will get in touch with the buyer.
