3 Best Practices for Selling Your House This Year
A new year brings with it the opportunity for new experiences. If that resonates with you because you’re considering making a move, you’re likely juggling a mix of excitement over your next home and a sense of attachment to your current one.
A great way to ease some of those emotions and ensure you’re feeling confident in your decision is to keep these three best practices in mind.
1. Price Your Home Right
The housing market shifted in 2022 as mortgage rates rose, buyer demand eased, and the number of homes for sale grew. As a seller, you’ll want to recognize things are different now and price your house appropriately based on where the market is today. Greg McBride, Chief Financial Analyst at Bankrate, explains:
“Price your home realistically. This isn’t the housing market of April or May, so buyer traffic will be substantially slower, but appropriately priced homes are still selling quickly.”
If you price your house too high, you run the risk of deterring buyers. And if you go too low, you’re leaving money on the table. An experienced real estate agent can help determine what your ideal asking price should be.
2. Keep Your Emotions in Check
Today, homeowners are living in their houses longer. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), since 1985, the average time a homeowner has owned their home has increased from 5 to 10 years (see graph below):
This is several years longer than what used to be the historical norm. The side effect, however, is when you stay in one place for so long, you may get even more emotionally attached to your space. If it’s the first home you bought or the house where your loved ones grew up, it very likely means something extra special to you. Every room has memories, and it’s hard to detach from the sentimental value.
For some homeowners, that makes it even harder to negotiate and separate the emotional value of the house from fair market price. That’s why you need a real estate professional to help you with the negotiations along the way.
3. Stage Your Home Properly
While you may love your decor and how you’ve customized your home over the years, not all buyers will feel the same way about your design. That’s why it’s so important to make sure you focus on your home’s first impression so it appeals to as many buyers as possible. As NAR says:
“Staging is the art of preparing a home to appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers in your market. The right arrangements can move you into a higher price-point and help buyers fall in love the moment they walk through the door.”
Buyers want to envision themselves in the space so it truly feels like it could be their own. They need to see themselves inside with their furniture and keepsakes – not your pictures and decorations. A real estate professional can help you with tips to get your house ready to sell.
Bottom Line
If you’re considering selling your house, reach out to a local real estate professional to help you navigate through the process while prioritizing these best practices.

Prescott Valley is THE hot area for rental investments. With many residential properties available and a large working population, it is a prime area for attracting and retaining quality renters. As of December 2022, a typical three bedroom, 2 bath home in Prescott Valley is bringing around $1800 per month in rents. Unfortunately, some neighborhoods with HOA’s have rental restrictions or fees that make renting unattractive. Here are homes exclusively in neighborhoods with NO HOA.

The Best of Prescott’s Top Five Prescott Neighborhoods
I’ve lived in the Prescott area since 1994. I’ve worked here as a school teacher and for the last 15 years, as a full-time Realtor. I raised my kids here, and now I am entering retirement here. It’s pretty hard to narrow all of our great Prescott neighborhoods down to FIVE. In fact, everyone you meet here will tell you that THEIR neighborhood is the best neighborhood. I’ve never heard anyone complain about their neighbors here. But just for fun, here are my personal top five Prescott neighborhoods. If I had free choice and an unlimited budget, this is where I would live.
- Downtown Prescott – I was brought up in the country, but I have always fantasized about living in some city right downtown. I could walk to the store, the theater, the post office, my favorite restaurant or coffee shop and never have to set foot in an automobile. Prescott’s downtown is PERFECT for this. You really can walk everywhere and never have to go outside of a one mile radius. Prescott has a lovely downtown, and our historic Prescott Courthouse Square is renowned all over the country. Downtown you will find the square encircled with Art Galleries, Bars, Restaurants, and shops of all kinds. Within another block beyond it, you find museums, the library, The Prescott Center for the Arts and the Elks Theater, shopping centers, fast food and just about anything you want. The neighborhoods surrounding the square date from the late 1800’s to the 1960’s, with some newer buildings mixed in. If you can afford it and find it, nothing beats Prescott’s historic Downtown! Prices range from $400k to $2 million.
- The Hassayampa Village Community – There is nothing but good things going on in The Hassayampa. This gated community is most renowned for its gorgeous luxury homes, some of which have phenomenal views of the entire area. It also has condominiums and townhouses, which span the budget and lifestyles of many Prescottonians and those with second homes. It has a beautiful, private golf course and golf club inside the community, to which membership is totally optional. In fact, the homeowner’s dues for The Hassayampa are only $800 per year! The neighborhood is close to the Prescott National Forest and close to Downtown Prescott too, and it is set in the beautiful pine trees, which are decorated with the emerald golf course of the Capital Canyon Club. If you can afford it, check out The Hassayampa! Prices for condos begin in the $500,000’s and homes are typically between $1.2 to $3 million.
- American Ranch – I like American Ranch for the same reasons everyone likes it when we drive by together. They always say, “Wow that’s beautiful! What’s THAT neighborhood? The perimeter of the open rolling land out Williamson Valley Road is fenced to resemble a stately ranch community, the Equestrian Center is impressive, the club house and surrounding areas are understated and tasteful, the pond with its Teepees and raised decks invites memories of summer campouts. And of course, behind it all, is the imposing, ever changing Granite Mountain and the Granite Mountain Wilderness, where you can go on endless rides and hikes on numerous trails. This is a horse community, but only some of the lots here allow horses. The lots toward the back of the development do not, but they back to stunning wild places. Beware though: The HOA fees are steep – running at almost $4000 per year. The location is about 20 minutes from downtown Prescott on Williamson Valley Road. Prices for homes range from $1 million to $3 million.
- Los Pinos and The Village – This is home for me, so of course, I love The Village and Los Pinos! These older sister neighborhoods are sought out for their larger lots (about 1/2 acre), non-existent HOA’s, proximity to both the downtown area (7 minutes away by car) and the Prescott National Forest (within walking distance). They also offer all custom homes, amazing views, juniper and pine trees, friendly neighbors and a very relaxed atmosphere. Because many homes are older, you can often find affordable properties ready for renovation. Prices range from about $600,000 to $1 million.
- Forest Trails might be my favorite neighborhood of all! It is on the west side of town and just north of the iconic Thumb Butte. It offers large lots, VIEWS, no HOA, a combination of boulders, Ponderosas and Junipers and some of the most beautiful custom homes in town. Like many of my top picks, it is right next to trails for hiking, biking and riding. It’s also not too far from downtown (about 10 minutes) and close to the Granite Basin recreation area. Great neighborhoods close by include The Heritage, Enchanted Canyon and The Preserve.
If these neighborhoods don’t spark your interest, here are a few more worth mentioning:
- For mid-century modern charm – look in the neighborhoods around Park Avenue, Country Club and Copper Basin road, as well as Country Club Park, right under Thumb Butte. Prices usually range between $500k and $800,000.
- If you like golf and more of a “curb and gutter” lifestyle with an HOA and a Club, try Prescott Lakes, Stoneridge, or Talking Rock Ranch. Prices range from $500,000 to $2 million or so in these neighborhoods.
- Want a cabin? Try The Mountain Club, Ponderosa Park, Groom Creek, Walker or Potato Patch. Expect to pay from $500,000 to $2 million.
- Want to feel like you’re in the woods, but still close to town? Try Hidden Valley Ranch, Haisley Homestead or Cathedral Pines.
- Don’t hesitate to explore EVERYWHERE ELSE! Prescott has so many great neighborhoods and all of them have their own character and charm. I’ve left out so many that I love.
