Selling a house for a profit is not easy as it may first
appear. And setting a good selling price may be counter-intuitive.
For example, it can be better to start with a lower asking price
when selling into a slow market. But, then again, no one wants to
start low ... it's hard to raise an asking price.

Determining a selling price for a home is not easy. And there
are several ways it can be done. First, there's the "I want as
much as I can get", bottom line price. It's based on a desired
profit. The thought process behind this price often includes:
"I want to clear $50,000. I owe $228,000 so I'll set the price
at $278,000." This is probably the most common way people set
the price of a house they wish to sell.

Others seek professional help when setting the sales price.
They contact a real estate agent and ask for help, "I want to sell
my house. What's a good price for it?" Usually the agent will
visit and give you a ballpark price or refer you to a professional
appraiser. You can also explore the housing market yourself, and compare
your house to houses similar to yours to determine an asking
price.

Whatever method one uses to determine a sales price, people
often fail to consider the house's carrying costs. Those are the
financial alligators that take big bites out of your profit as each
month passes while your house is for sale. Home Selling Calculator
shows you clearly how these monthly carrying costs can eat into the
profit you might make from selling your house.
