Your home isn't competing with what sold last spring. It's competing with what buyers can choose today.
Quick answer
The Lisa Sevajian Group helps people price and sell homes across the North Shore and coastal Essex County, including Amesbury MA, Newburyport MA, Salisbury MA, Danvers MA and Salem MA. This summer, single family homes in these towns took about 18 to 26 days to get an offer, and the share sold over list price ran from about a third to two thirds depending on the town. You choose your price after we walk through recent accepted offers, every home for sale nearby, and the last 30 days of sales.

Look at the spread. Some towns sold most homes over list price and some sold far fewer. That's why a price that worked in one town can stall in the next.
How do you decide on a list price?
We don't set your price. You choose it, and I make sure you have what you need to choose well. Before you decide, we walk through three things together:
- What sellers accepted recently, for how much, why they chose that buyer, and what the buyer was willing to do to win.
- Every home for sale within 5 miles in your price range, because that's what a buyer could choose instead of yours. It shows us how to make your home stand out as the best of the best.
- The accurate similar sales from the last 30 days.
Most sellers choose Energy Pricing, which draws the most attention and competing offers, or Market Based, which prices with the market and is fine taking a little longer. The price you choose decides how you'll feel Monday after the open houses. You want to feel proud and excited to review offers.
What is the 6 Day Selling Strategy?
It's how we've launched listings for over a decade. The work happens before the first showing: preparation, presentation, pricing and a plan for every day the home is on the market. Almost all of our sellers accept their chosen buyer on day 6, right on time. Our listings reach over 40,000 people on average. See the full plan on the sellers page.
