When it comes to selling your home, few decisions are as crucial as setting the asking price. It’s not just a matter of picking a random number or aiming for the highest possible amount. Instead, it’s about strategically determining the right price that will attract potential buyers, generate interest, and ultimately lead to a successful sale.

The Impact of Pricing
Pricing is an important detail. Even if you have a sense of what you think your home is worth, you should take an informed and strategic approach to choosing an asking price.
One of the primary goals of setting the right asking price is to attract the right pool of buyers. Pricing your home competitively can draw in a larger pool of prospective buyers, increasing your chances of finding the perfect match for your property.
While some sellers may think it’s better to list high and wait for offers slightly below the asking price, this strategy isn’t always effective. Overpricing your home can deter potential buyers who are genuinely interested but don’t want to waste time on properties that are out of their budget.
On the other hand, if you price it too low, you might attract a lot of buyers. However, you could end up leaving money on the table at the end of the day. Therefore, to maximize your chances of selling, you need to strike the right balance.

Keep Your Listing Fresh
In addition to impacting your home’s final sale amount, the initial asking price will also influence how long your home is on the market.
In Ontario, overpricing is a common reason for homes sitting on the market longer than usual. Once again, price your home too high, and you might deter potential buyers who believe it’s out of their budget range.
If your property lingers on the market for too long potential buyers might wonder why it hasn’t sold yet. Even if there’s nothing wrong with your home, buyers may see this as a red flag.
All that said, choosing the right asking price helps prevent your home from going stale in the eyes of buyers – increasing your chances of a quick sale.
How Does an Agent Determine Market Price?
In Ontario, real estate markets are dynamic and can change quickly. Larger economic conditions such as the cost of lending and inflation, in addition to housing supply and demand, can all affect property values. A strategic asking price will need to factor in all of these details and more.
The best place to start in choosing a thoughtful selling price (as with all facets of your home sale) is with an experienced real estate agent. As an industry professional, they’ll know best how to decipher your local market in order to best present your home for a quick, smooth, and profitable sale.
