This brought me to some research published by Ken H. Johnson, Ph.D. of Florida International University. Dr. Johnson is editor of the<strong> Journal of Housing Research<\/strong> and guest blogger at <strong>Keeping Current Matters<\/strong> (kcmblog.com).<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Johnson recently wrote about the important research of professor John R. Knight, who studied the impact of changing a property\u2019s listing price to produce a sale. Knight also examined the types of property that are most likely to experience a price change.<\/p>\n<p>Findings from Knight\u2019s research indicate that on average, properties undergoing listing price changes take longer to sell, and suffer a price discount greater than similar properties. Furthermore, bigger price changes are found to experience even longer marketing times and greater price discounts.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, as for which properties are most likely to experience a price change, Knight finds that the greater the initial markup, the higher the likelihood that any given property will experience a listing price change.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, Dr. Johnson says sellers\u2014as well as brokers\/agents\u2014should be aware of<!--more--> the critical necessity of getting the price correct from the start. Sellers wanting to over list will ultimately take longer to sell and will sell their property for less, on average, according to Knight.<\/p>\n<p>Brokers\/agents\u2019 desire to take a listing and get the price right later will ultimately lead to their working harder, according to Knight, and they are not doing their sellers any favors. Thus, an initial and detailed analysis of the proper price is much more critical than many originally thought.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Johnson found in his own research that the direction (up or down) of the listing price change does not matter. A listing price increase or decrease both lead to similar results found in Knight\u2019s work \u2013 longer marketing times and lower prices.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, get the price right from the beginning. In our next segment, we\u2019ll focus on how to determine that right price from the get-go.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this information is useful to you.
