How to Price Your House to Sell (and Avoid Costly Mistakes)

Pricing a home is both an art and a science, especially in a dynamic market like Hudson County.

Here are the top 3 pricing mistakes sellers make:

❌ Mistake #1: Overpricing Based on Emotion

Sellers often think their home is worth more because of renovations or memories. But buyers shop by comparables, not emotions. If your home is priced too high, it will sit, and when it finally sells, it may be for less than it could’ve gotten with a sharper strategy.

❌ Mistake #2: Underpricing Without a Plan

Some sellers price low, hoping for a bidding war. That can work, but only if demand is high, the listing is marketed properly, and the property shows well. If not, you could be leaving tens of thousands on the table.

❌ Mistake #3: Pricing Off “Zillow Estimates”

Zillow doesn’t know if your kitchen was redone or if your neighbor’s roof is leaking. Relying on automated estimates leads to poor results. You need hyper-local comps and a strategy built around actual buyer behavior.

✅ What to Do Instead:

For buyers and investors, understanding pricing pitfalls helps you identify motivated sellers, lowball opportunities, or overhyped listings.
