Q. When I put my home on the market in a few months, how will market
value be established?
A.
Market value is simply what a buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing
to accept. This answer assumes that both parties are well informed about
closed home sales that are “comparable” based on
four important factors
:
1. Location.
Even within the same city, different neighborhoods can have
completely different market values. Compare prices of recent sales in the
same community.
2. Age.
Comparable homes should be built within a couple of years of yours.
Building codes and style trends vary with time and greatly affect value.
3. Size of home and lot.
Buyers are sensitive to the price per square foot.
Your home may be unique but buyers will compare the price per square
foot with neighboring properties for both the home and the land.
4. Property condition.
As the seller, you have many opportunities to
increase the attractiveness of your home by getting it in tip-top condition
and staging the rooms before placing the home on the market.
If you’re thinking of selling your home in the next year, you need to know
about my “
Maximum Home Value Audit
.” My audit is much more than a
simple home valuation you’ll get from another agent. It’s a complete top-to-
bottom analysis not just of the value of your home, but every aspect of your
home. To request a no obligation audit of your home’s value or if you have
any questions, please call me at 805-701-8410.
