Problems can occur for both the buyer and seller when it comes to an overpriced home in the Crested Butte area. Is your home perceived to be overpriced on the market? This can cause less showings, and less potential buyers for your home. 90% of all homes do not sell because the price is unrealistically high compared to the market and other nearby homes.

Problems With An Overpriced Home

When buyers are looking for homes and they come across two homes that they are choosing between they might go with the other option due to it being a lower listing price. This limits the amount of showings scheduled on your home due to it being out of price range for clients. Overpriced homes also don’t show this value when it comes to getting appraised. This means that when the lender orders the appraisal and the appraisal is below the purchase price. This causes the loan-to-value ratio to not be correct. Depending on the lender they will not loan on the property at the agreed upon purchase price, or the buyer must increase their cash down payment amount. In such a case, the buyer has the right to terminate the contract.
