Let\u2019s break it down together:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tolet.com.ng\/property-for-sale\/lagos\/lekki\/lekki-phase-1\/duplex\"><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;DUPLEX FOR SALE IN LEKKI PHASE 1&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:515,&quot;3&quot;:[null,0],&quot;4&quot;:[null,2,65535],&quot;12&quot;:0}\">DUPLEX FOR SALE IN LEKKI PHASE 1<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>List price<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the price value of your house when you put it up on the market for sale or rent. This price can change during the listing period should you decide has the seller to lower or increase the price before it sells.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For example, if your property has been on the market for months with no offers, then you may decide to reduce your listing price or if a mall is built close to your property; it will appreciate the value hence resulting in you as the seller to increase the price of your listing. <strong>Listing price<\/strong> can be affected by a number of factors like offers from buyers, time spent by the property on the market, competition in the environment, economic conditions of the real estate market and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also referred to as the asking price because it is the amount the seller asks for the house.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sellers often list their properties on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tolet.com.ng\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reliable property agency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, social media, flyers and much more<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sale Price<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the price your house sells for at the final sale price. The final sale price of similar comparable properties in your neighbourhood that were sold within the last six months is an indication of your home\u2019s current value. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sales price is the price agreed upon between the seller and buyer.It is also referred to as the selling price. It may be higher, lower, or the same as the initial list price which is dependent on what happens during the offer and negotiating stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tolet.com.ng\/property-for-rent\/abuja\"><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;HOUSES FOR RENT IN ABUJA&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:515,&quot;3&quot;:[null,0],&quot;4&quot;:[null,2,13369344],&quot;12&quot;:0}\">HOUSES FOR RENT IN ABUJA<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is price the driving factor in selling a property, and can price alone beat all objections a buyer has about a property?Marketing is a function of price. Real estate agents and advertisement can help bring potential buyers to the property and attract their interest; however, in the end, the home has to be within a buyer\u2019s budget. Price combined with an\u00a0effective advertisement is the largest motivator to get a home sold in any market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8845 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tolet.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/money.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/propertypro.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/money.jpg 702w, https:\/\/propertypro.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/money-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing your home correctly is very important.
