Why Home Owners Need To Ask - Is the property “seriously” for sale?

Before listing a house for sale, every homeowner should think carefully about whether they really want to sell and move house. It sounds like a simple enough question, but many homeowners would struggle with an answer.

Here’s what often happens. Some people will put their home on the market at a ridiculously high asking price. Not because they expect their property to sell for that price, but because they can’t decide if they really want to sell. If a homebuyer is willing to pay the home sellers inflated price, it makes the sellers decision a whole lot easier.

But, isn’t that the wrong way to go about selling a property? If money were the only motivating factor, wouldn’t the home seller be better off considering other types of moneymaking schemes?
If a property is not “seriously” for sale it can be a waste of time for all concerned - homebuyer, real estate agent, home seller.
