PRICING

YOUR HOME

PRICING YOUR HOME IS PART SCIENCE AND PART SKILL

When it comes to selling your home, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is the price you set. The right price can attract potential buyers, while the wrong price can repel them. Pricing your home too high might result in a prolonged period of time on the market, while pricing it too low would mean missing out on potential profits. So how do you determine the right price for your property?

HOME'S VALUE

First and foremost, it’s important to understand that your home’s value is determined by a variety of factors. These factors include the property’s location, size, condition, amenities, and recent sales in your area. It’s important to consider all of these factors when determining your asking price, as they will help you set realistic expectations and attract the right buyers.

Keep in mind that I will help you determine the right price using different approaches. One approach to pricing your home is to conduct a comparative market analysis (CMA). This involves researching recent sales of properties in your area that are similar to your own. We will start by reviewing recent sales listings. A CMA will provide valuable insights into the local real estate market, including current trends, property demand, and average sale prices.

  • Market Conditions

    Understanding the market conditions in your local area is a fundamental aspect that influences the price of your home. It is important to research the current state of the local real estate market, looking at trends such as average sale prices, how long properties are staying on the market and what time of year tend to be the busiest for property sales. These sales provide valuable insights into the appropriate pricing of your home. By looking at the final sales prices of comparable homes, you can get a better understanding of what price point to aim for.

  • Condition of Your Home

    The condition of your home can affect its value and ultimately affects the sale price. The home's interior and exterior appearance, upkeep and cleanliness, and any upgrades or customization, can make a significant difference in the sale price. A well-maintained home, in good condition, will increase its value and ultimately can lead to a higher asking price.

  • Location

    Location is an essential aspect of the value of your home as different locations have different values. Properties in sought-after neighborhoods, with excellent schools and close proximity to amenities, typically command a higher price than properties elsewhere.

  • Size and Square Footage

    The size and square footage of your property is one of the most significant factors in determining its value. Larger properties typically sell for more than smaller properties, but the correlation between size and value is not always direct. The layout, number of bedrooms and bathrooms and the number of stories can also have an impact on the price of the home.

  • Extras and Amenities

    Property extras and amenities also impact the price of the property. Features like heating and air conditioning systems, swimming pools, garages, and energy-efficient fixtures can add value to a home.

In conclusion, we will work together to determine the right price for your home as it is the most critical part of the sale process.
