To sell your house above asking price in Andover, MA, price it from recent sales, have it fully ready before it goes live, and market it hard in the first two weekends. Andover homes sold for 102.3% of asking in a median of 29 days over the past year, according to Redfin, so most of the extra money is won early.
Here is what works
Price to start a competition. A fair price draws more buyers, and more buyers means more offers.
Finish before you list. Clean, repair and stage first.
Launch with strong marketing. Photos, floor plans and drone video should be ready on day one.
Hold open houses right away. The first weekend usually brings the most interest.
Compare offers carefully. The highest price is not always the best offer. Look at financing, inspection terms and the closing date too.
