If you’ve inherited a property and you’re planning to sell it, make sure you read this blog post for 3 tips about how to price your inherited home in St. Paul for sale…
Did you inherit a property that you’re now thinking about selling? While an inherited property can be a wonderful gift from a loved one who has passed on, it can also (quite frankly) be a costly burden. So selling it makes sense and allows you to use the gifted equity for some other purpose. But selling an inherited property may not come easy to you, especially if you haven’t sold a property in a while. So here’s how to price your inherited home in St. Paul for sale…
Tip #1: Price Quick To Sell
Some people price their inherited property at an amount they think the market might pay 
for the house. However, there are many factors that go into this price and one of the biggest considerations is: how fast do you want to sell? Selling through an agent “on the market” can take months, and you’ll have to pay for the house and maintain the property the entire time. That can be costly and can eat into the higher price.
Many property owners quickly learn that they’re almost better off to price slightly lower for a faster sale… they might get less for the house but they also pay less on repairs, carrying costs, effort, and time, so it’s ultimately a trade-off that might turn out to be a total wash.
Tip #2: Avoid Pricing Based On Fond Memories Or Emotion
I know selling a inherited house can be a very emotional time. Especially, if you have a long history in the home. As hard as it can be, you need to put your emotions behind and get your house ready to sell. Price it at a fair market value. Dontoption you have is to work with a real estate company and find out what they can offer you, and recognize that the price might be lower than you were expecting… not because the house isn’t worth as much but because your wonderful memories have accidentally inflated the price!
Tip #3: Build In Discounts For Repairs
If you inherited the property from a loved one who had lived in the property for many years 
then you might find out that the property needs some repairs. Instead of fixing all the damage in the house, you should think about offering a discount for anyone who buys your house that the can use to fix the damage themselves.
Summary
An inherited house can be a lot of work so if you’re thinking of selling it, you’re certainly not alone. But how do you price an inherited house? These tips will guide you on how to price your inherited home in St. Paul for sale.
