When you put your home up for sale, offer it at a reasonable price. Check out some comparable, recent home sales that are in your area and try to set a price in the middle. Placing an overinflated value on your house could force you to eventually lower it anyway.

If you plan to live in your home, while allowing prospective buyers to view the property, you should try to remove as much of your belongings and personal touches as possible. Prospective purchasers need to see themselves residing in the home, so tidying up allows them to much more easily do just that. In addition, you'll get an advanced start on your moving efforts.
