How to Sell your Home in Littleton Colorado
– the right way
That “ONE” big thing – Not just Pricing and Condition
OVER-Pricing is still a big reason why homes are not selling. Here in Littleton Colorado, real estate numbers reflect that there just aren’t very many homes on the market, and while there are a significant amount of buyers that are looking for homes, pricing is a big reason why these buyers don’t make an offer.
There are many ways to tackle the over-pricing problem, but if we’re just talking about pricing… YOU MUST HAVE A GREAT PRICING STRATEGY!!!
The Worst Pricing Strategy to Sell Your Home in Littleton
The worst pricing strategy to sell homes in Littleton is to price high and take the best offer. Let’s be very clear… the real estate market in Littleton, Colorado will punish these homes severely!
This is not selling a used car and putting that red and white sign in the window for $800/ O.B.O. (or best offer)… NO, this is your legacy, it is a home… and it is an extremely emotional purchase for a buyer.
Homes that are overpriced will sit on the market for a long time racking up maintenance/upkeep costs and continue to incur interest and mortgage costs as well. These homes also tend to become stigmatized in the eyes of real estate agents, the general public, and the entire neighborhood… making people think that there may be something severely wrong with it.
The BEST Home Pricing Strategy is Counter-Intuitive, but WORKS!
One of the best strategies to use seems extremely counter-intuitive but has been proven time and time again, is to price slightly below market value. (especially in neighborhoods in Littleton Colorado that are highly desirable to buyers) This pricing strategy is often over-looked because many Sellers just can’t seem to wrap their head around the pricing low strategy, especially due to the most recent Denver Real Estate Market boom.
Be prepared to Negotiate!
Negotiation is key when using this strategy, however, pricing your home slightly lower will definitely get more attraction to your listing… and depending on how your home is marketed to the masses, will often yield multiple offers!
This strategy will work well almost every time as long as you, and your real estate agent are prepared to negotiate… AND the home has been marketed extremely well.
The “ONE” Thing… the “KEY” to Selling Your Littleton Home is MARKETING
It’s no secret that condition, pricing and location are major components of attraction to a home for sale in Littleton Colorado… given the median home value… “BUT” condition, pricing, and location mean absolutely nothing unless you market and attract people to it!
Newer technologies to find home BUYERS in Littleton,CO
A single piece of marketing just doesn’t make people buy anymore. The old ways of marketing have changed… and unfortunately, the real estate industry is lagging behind.
It’s mind-blowing that in today’s day and age, with all of the different avenues of marketing, technologies, and resources to learn from, that so many listings are simple posts of cartoonish/over-exposed images on the MLS with very little real marketing behind them.
To be fair, I do own an actual real estate marketing company, and as a technology provider for real estate agents, I’m probably better informed on what is actually available to market homes.
How to SELL Your Home EVERY time…
After 17 years of marketing homes, I can honestly say that there is only “ONE” single silver bullet that will sell a home every single time… and it’s simple…
Be where the BUYERS are, and make them comfortable with buying! This is done with more and better marketing than the status quo AND by giving them excessively more information to strengthen their decision.
Buying a home is emotional!
Real estate is emotional when selling your home. It’s critical to put vast amounts of information out there so that the buyer feels like buying your home is a matter of fate because they saw it everywhere they looked.

Get in TouchTechnology and Platforms really HELP to Sell your home!
If you want to know how to sell your home in Littleton, Colorado… here is what I recommend at a minimum: Magazine Photography (no Angry cartoons), Professional Videos, Single Property Websites, 3D Virtual Reality, Floor Plans, QR Codes, “REAL” Social Media Marketing, Lighted For Sale Signs, Mailers and Flyers that can be tracked (yes this is a thing), and so much more. All of these real estate marketing pieces are, in my opinion, tragically overlooked and underutilized on listings in Littleton, Colorado.
Aerial & Drones to SELL Homes are underutilized in Littleton!
The “Number 1” technology for selling homes in Littleton Colorado is by far the use of Drones for both video and photos. As much as I love Littleton, I’m always saddened when I don’t get to see the area and a mountain backdrop in marketing photos. (this could just be me, but it makes me cry a little)
Littleton is one of the most beautiful places in the Colorado front range to live. Neighborhoods are well designed, there are parks everywhere, bike trails… and from the air, there is no place in Littleton where you can’t see the majestic Rocky Mountains. What better way to make a buyer fall in love?! (Remember, real estate in Littleton, and really everywhere, is emotional!)
It’s surprising how few real estate agents in Littleton, Colorado and the Denver Metro area use drones on all of their homes for sale, provided the technology is so widely available and licensed pilots are so easy to find.
