卖房英语对话-Setting an Asking Price(1)

A: How much do you think that I should ask for my house?
B: Well, there are a lot of factors involved in setting an asking price.
A: What do you look at when setting an asking price?
B: We need to look at the selling prices for similar homes in the area. These will vary according to the condition of the home, specific location, and lot size.
A: Do I have to use the comparisons as the asking price for my house?
B: No, but a seller is not going to be able to get a loan if the selling price is a lot higher that what an appraiser¹ feels the home is worth.
A: Isn’t it better to price my house really high and see what I can get?
B: You shouldn’t set the price of the house unrealistically high. Oftentimes buyers are put off by this practice.
A: Can I change my mind and lower my price if the home doesn’t sell?
B: Sure, you can always lower your asking price.
