La Jolla Real Estate: La Jolla Luxury Homes

Price It Right! 

A mispriced La Jolla home sits on the market longer, and eventually sells for less than a similar, correctly priced La Jolla communities home. So found John R. Knight, a professor at University of the Pacific. In his 2002 study, "Listing Price, Time on Market, and Ultimate Selling Price," he examined 3,490 La Jolla, Calif., homes and found that sellers who didn't reduce their prices sold for 97% of the initial list price. La Jolla homes with a price reduction sold for 88% of initial list price.

Slightly lowballing a listing price upfront often results in a higher sales price, because it generates greater interest and more offers. It is also less likely to languish; when this happens, buyers wait, hoping its price will go further south.

"In a down market, that's a good way to go for houses that, in an up market, would have multiple offers," says Courtney Charney, a broker with Alain Pinel Realtors in Atherton, Calif. "But I would not advise that on houses that you know will sit, whether because of location, or something odd about the floor plan or some other set of issues."
