 Determining Your Home's Value

 

One of the most important factors in selling your home is the sales price. Housing prices are subject to several components. Each component must be analyzed to determine the value of your home.

 

Comparative Pricing

It is highly unlikely that a buyer will pay more for your property than would have to be paid for a similar property with comparable features and amenities. To set a successful pricing strategy, it is best to review similar properties that have recently sold.

 

Style and Landscape

The layout of a house really directs how people will live in it. After a long day at the office, the welcoming sight of home can rejuvenate the soul.

 

Appealing Details

Custom-made items such as built-ins, draperies, or special appliances that you are willing to leave behind can add value to your home. Likewise, handcrafted molding, vaulted ceilings, dramatic windows rank high in value.

 

Improvements

Major improvements may yield attractive returns at selling time. An updated kitchen or a second bath are major attractions.

 

Neighborhood

Location, location, location. The worst house in the best neighborhood is worth more than the best home in the worst neighborhood. Considerations include schools, services, and the general upkeep of nearby homes.

 

Supply and Demand

In growing communities, with new jobs and a thriving economy, you will see housing prices rise. On the other hand, if the area is economically depress, housing prices tend to decline.
