Tips to Sell a Brooklyn Home in 2022:

In a seller’s market like this, listing your home and bringing in an offer has never been easier. However, there are still a few actions to take to make the process as smooth as possible.

  • Stay Firm on Price — When you list in one of these top nine neighborhoods, there’s no reason to back down on the number you initially ask for. The data from the report above shows houses are selling at 99-100% of their asking value, in case you need factual proof to stick to your price. But make sure your number is realistic, otherwise your listing might fall flat.
  • Expect Several Offers — The hot market is going to bring in tons of competition. If you receive an offer on the first day you list, it doesn’t mean you need to take it. Follow your agent’s advice on offer acceptance to make sure you earn that top-dollar profit.
  • Hire a Hyper-localized Agent — When you bring on a professional who knows and loves Brooklyn, you’ll receive better marketing, pricing guidance, and all-around support. This is even more true when your neighborhood is one of the most sought-after in the city. Realty Collective is an awesome choice for a Brooklyn-centric team 😉
