Determining Your Home’s Value
Reasons to List Your Home with Us!
Proper pricing is dependent on several factors, the most important
being recent comparable sales in the neighborhood, what is currently
on the market in competition with your home, and the condition of
your home. These factors can change rapidly within months, so a
current market analysis on your home is crucial to pricing your home
correctly. Price it too low, you lose some of your equity, price it
too high you lose potential buyers.
The most common mistake is over-pricing. Overpricing your home means
it sits on the market longer, and one of the first questions a buyer
usually asks is how long a property has been on the market. The
longer your home has been for sale, the more the buyers are inclined
to believe something is "wrong" with it, and the lower the offer
will be.
What Does Not Affect a Home's Value
- What you paid for the home.
- What you put into your home in remodeling or decorating. These are
features which really only enhance a home's desirability and make it
sell faster.
- The amount of cash you need to buy your new home.
- What you say your home is worth.
- What your agent says your home is worth.
- What another agent says your home is worth.
- What an appraiser says your home is worth.
What Does Affect a Home's Value
- Location of the home.
- Major improvements on the home (pools, covered patios, etc)
- Recent comparable sales within the last six months
- Current competition on the market
- What a sophisticated buyer is willing to pay based on his comparison
of your home with others currently on the market. Agents and sellers
set list prices, but buyers determine value!
