He loved meeting people, talking with them, getting to know them, becoming their friend, and almost as an aside, selling them a car. Not just any car, mind you, but the car he decided was the "right" one for them.

Pricing Property From page 16 other over-priced properties. Here are a few other points to keep in mind: the first house to sell in a declining market will likely bring the miost money. The rest will have to play catch-up to stay competitive and likely end up selling for less. Most people will gravitate to areas of least resistance, thus more people will look at a cheaper property than a more expensive one. Try pricing slightly lower than those properties for sale and slightly higher than those recently sold. : With more people willing to - look, the chance of a full price offer is greater. The longer your property sits on the market, the less you will get for it. Properties priced properly typically sell for 90-95 per cent of the list price within 30 days (according to stats from the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board) Properties for sale longer than six months typically sell for 25-40 per cent of the original list price. The old saying of "location, location, location" as the three things to look for in choosing real estate is now "price, price, price," in keeping with the 1990s.
