We all can agree that homes in the same areas as yours, with the same size and
amenities, sell for different prices. Some at the top of the range and some at the bottom.
The main reason for the differences in sales price is desirability (emotional appeal).
Does the home turn the buyer on? Does it excite them? Does it make the buyer want to
live in it. It all boils down to one simple fact - does it have more emotional appeal than
your competition?

Your Choices - Lower your price or stage your home
Naturally, you can choose to price your home below that of your competition for the same amenities, size, etc.,
hoping that some one will make an offer, if so, you should remember this fact, the lowest priced homes don't sell first,
If you don't lower your price, you must make your home more exciting and desirable
To do this, you need to create a home with the right atmosphere and looks. One where buyers can see themselves
living a "lifestyle that they dream of." There is nothing more important when it comes to selling your home, than to
have one which has a very strong emotional appeal. Properly staging your home, and even adding a little
"sex appeal", will do this.
