Pricing a home effectively when trying to sell it involves researching comparable home sales in the area, also known as "comps," and considering factors such as the home's condition, size, and features. It is also important to consider the current real estate market conditions and trends. Setting the price too high can deter potential buyers, while setting it too low can result in leaving money on the table. A Certified Fire Your Landlord® Real Estate Expert along with a professional appraiser can provide valuable insights on how to price a home effectively, and can help set a fair and competitive price for the market.

1. Comparable Market Analysis (CMA): This strategy involves researching and comparing recent home sales in the area that are similar to the home you are trying to sell. This will give you a good idea of what similar homes are selling for and help you determine a fair price for your home.

2. Price at the lower end of the range: Setting the price at the lower end of the range of comparable home sales can generate interest and multiple offers, potentially resulting in a higher sale price.

3. Price to sell: In a buyer's market, where there is an abundance of homes for sale, it may be more effective to price the home slightly below market value in order to generate a quick sale.

4. Price based on features and condition: The features and condition of the home can also be considered when pricing it, for example, a home with a swimming pool or a new kitchen may be priced higher than a similar home without those features.

5. Test the market: A testing the market strategy, start with a higher price and then adjust it downward if the home doesn't sell quickly.

6. Flex pricing: This strategy can be used when the market is changing rapidly, and you want to be able to adjust the price of your home quickly based on the current market conditions.

It's worth noting that there's no one-size-fits-all strategy for pricing a home. As a seller, you should consult with a real estate agent and appraiser to get a better understanding of the market conditions, and to find the best pricing strategy for your situation.
