4 Tips for Correctly Pricing Your New Buffalo Home


As we find our way into November and near the holiday season you may be wishing you could simply sit back and settle in to the warmth of your New Buffalo home.  But, whether due to extenuating circumstances or not, you know that you need to sell your home.  

Here at Shoreline Property Advisors, our team of New Buffalo Prudential Rubloff Real Estate agents understand that selling your home during the holidays can be a stressful time.  While there are buyers who will be looking for a home this time of year in New Buffalo; it’s important to hone in on one of the key components of selling your home: listing price.

Now, we know it can be hard when you’ve put a lot of time, energy and funds into making your home exactly how you want it; so selling can become really personal.  Yet, it’s important to keep in mind the current New Buffalo Real Estate market and be willing to talk through realistic numbers with your New Buffalo Real Estate agent.  Here are four factors that will play into pricing your home correctly. 

1. Location- You can't get away from this one. If your New Buffalo home is lakefront or has stunning lake views, you will be able to get a higher price than you can for the same house that’s inland.  

2. Condition- A New Buffalo home that is well maintained and shows better will always sell for more than one that has had deferred maintenance and needs work.

3. Desirable Amenities- If a house has amenities that are popular in New Buffalo homes such as outdoor living space, open floor plan or porches with sweeping views, it will sell more quickly. 

4. Calculate the price per square foot- The average price per square foot for homes in New Buffalo shouldn't be the sole determinant of the asking price for your home, but it can be a useful starting point. 

Having these four criteria in mind can give you a better understanding of how your New Buffalo Real Estate agent is guiding the price.  Of course they want to ensure you get a fair price for your home that you feel comfortable with, but they’ll also make sure your home is competitively priced to sell in a timely manner on the current New Buffalo Real Estate market.

As always, we are here to help you in any way we can!  Our team of experienced advisors and Prudential Rubloff Real Estate agents will guide you through the entire process to help things run smoothly and efficiently.
