Make use of  appealing asking prices
Appealing asking prices like goods sold at 1,999 or 3,999 are often used by supermarket to attract clients to buy goods. Why can’t you use this trick? Instead of selling your house for NGN 500,000; why not sell it at NGN 499,999. Logically, there is no difference in the asking price, but there is a lot of difference in the mind of the buyer. Â
Don’t overprice your house
Imagine a buyer tells their agent they want a two-bedroom house under NGN 500K then the real estate agent may then set up a search of properties under NGN 500K on PropertyPro.ng. However, if your home is above NGN 500k, that potential buyer will miss your house.
Overpricing the house subconsciously raise the alarm in the mind of potential buyers and discourages them from purchasing your houses. When you are trying to price your house to sell as soon as possible, it is advised you refrain from overpricing the property. Â

Do potential buyers want to view your home at 6 p.m. on a Sunday? Ease of inspection is a major factor in whether a home sells quickly. So, open up your house for potential buyers to inspect.
How many times do houses get sold at their asking price? Some people make the mistake of being overly rigid about how much they want to sell their house which makes the house stay longer on the market.
