How to Get the Best Price When Selling Your House in San Diego

Are you thinking about selling your San Diego real estate? The market is still working in your favor, but there are strategic moves you can make to get the best price. From setting the right price to hiring the right realtor, we'll walk you through essential strategies to help you attract serious buyers.

Price Competitively

Set your price too high, and you’ll scare buyers away (or just make them chuckle in disbelief). Set it too low, and you may leave money on the table.

So, how do you find the sweet spot?

Buyers have a psychological tendency to perceive prices just below the round number as more attractive than the round number itself. For example, most people would agree that a $4.99 bag of apples feels like a better buy than that bag priced at $5.00. The same applies to houses.

Instead of pricing your San Diego real estate at $700,000, consider lowering the price to $699,000 or even $699,500. As a seller, that price difference is negligible. But to a buyer, it often looks much larger than it is.

Hire an Experienced Listing Agent

Over the last few years, the San Diego real estate industry has seen an influx of new agents, many of whom were drawn to the hot market. Unfortunately, many of these agents do not have the experience to help clients negotiate a highly competitive market.

Our team leader, Joanie, has been an industry leader for over 20 years, and our realtors, John and Cassandra, are both 10-year real estate veterans. Plus, our team knows the San Diego area like the back of our hands, which makes us a necessary ally in a highly competitive market.

As an award-winning company with a consistent 5-star rating across Google, Yelp, Facebook, and Zillow, it’s safe to say our success speaks for itself.

Be Open to Constructive Criticism

Our agents deeply understand the local market, current trends, and what buyers are looking for. We also bring an objective perspective to real estate deals—which means we are pretty good at assessing your home's strengths and weaknesses.

To get the best price when selling your San Diego home, lean on our expertise and be open to our polite yet strategic suggestions. Trust us, we will help you avoid costly mistakes and ensure a smooth transaction.
