I personally believe that the channel you choose to promote the property, or the strategy you select to find a buyer influences the result. If you sell it at auction, chances of getting good price is very low, if you wait for an agent, you don't know how long you have to wait. Fast buyers can help you with a quick sale, but then you have to offer a discount. Once you know your priorities such as quick sale, assured sale, better price or whatever, things will be easier for you.

Joe & KB reference comparable sales. These are homes that are either the same floor plan or similar in your neighborhood with similar amenities. You'll need to look at what's actually sold as well as what's currently available. A good real estate agent will bring all that information to your first appointment and suggest either a listing price or a list price range. If you can't live with the numbers your agent suggests -don't sell. Because you won't sell. Every buyer is looking for a great deal. You'll lose showings by being just $5,000 above your neighborhood prices. On the other hand, if you're priced right, in a recovering market and you've followed the advice in this article you're sure to get multiple offers. Having more than 1 buyer bidding on your property will ultimately lead to a higher sales price. Good luck! Betty Mr. Money,

I knew about Craigs list (of course) but was not aware of the other sites you shared. I would also stress the importance of comparable sales (from KP's comment). The reality, as you stated so well, is that selling in a tough market is, well, tough. But it can be done by making your house more appealing than the competition. All great tips.

The only addition I would add is to compare your home with those that have recently sold in your area. Preferably, those selling for a decent price. This may give you insight into small improvements you can make to your home to have more appeal. For example, painting rooms a lighter color to be more bright and look larger.
