We had a figure in mind that we wanted ($287,000), had seen people in our same complex get to that figure after having their property on at around the $290,000 to $295,000, sit on the market for up to 12 months waiting for the right buyer. Our agent suggested that we market our property all offers over $280,000. We ending up selling within 10 days for $288,000 to a couple that really only had a budget of $285,000, only looked at our place because they saw that it was under their budget and just loved it. We ended up having another couple interested which helped get the price higher too. Initially, it is about getting people in the door and looking at your place, the more people you can get in, the more chance you will get a buyer. There are people out there who do not like "offers over" marketing, but for us is worked really well. Like you have a figure in mind what you want to get for your home you also have a figure in mind that you would take. It is the same for a buyer, a buyer will have a figure in mind what you want to spend, but they always have an upper limit, and if someone loves a home, they will pay to get it. Good luck!
