Do not over OR under price your home...
The first step you need to take in order to sell your home is to find out an approximate value for your home. You can do this by either getting a market analysis or an appraisal.
Typically a market analysis is free, and most any realtor will do one for you. On the other hand, if you opt to have an appraisal done, you can expect to spend between $350 and $400 dollars (maybe a little more or less depending on house and property size). It has been our experience than an appraisal will give you a more accurate account of the worth of your home and, in the end, is money well spent.
Before you get an appraisal though, try to have a rough idea of what you think your house is worth. Be honest with yourself and discuss that amount with the appraiser, they usually have a pretty good idea even before the appraisal is done, if you are anywhere near the right value.
HOME INSPECTION
A home inspection is something that you can do when selling but really should do if buying.
The buyers may request that you do one, even if you are selling, and although not a requirement, a realtor would tell you: "It will help sell your house if it has already been inspected". Now again, we recommend that if you are buying a home, have the home inspected even if you have to pay for it.
One more thing to thing about when it comes to home inspection is that if the buyer pays for a home inspection, that inspection belongs to the buyer and you can't use it to sell your house without their permission. A good plan is to split the cost of the inspection whenever posiible. Then, if the buyer decides this is not the house for them, you still have a copy of the inspection and don't need to get it done again.
