  30. The Best Price Attainable The Best Price Attainable

  31. Buyers compare properties Home Buyers engage in comparison shopping. They will not pay more for a property than they could pay for another, similar one. Recently sold Reveals what buyers have actually paid for similar properties. A Competitive Market Analysis will give you a solid foundation for the realistic pricing of your property. Currently for sale Shows the properties that are competing for buyers’ attention right now. Did not sell Demonstrates what buyers have not been willing to pay under current market conditions.

  32. Physical qualities of your property Location Age Size of house and lot Floor plan and architectural style Market Conditions Interest rates and availability of financing Buyer demand Prices of recently sold properties State of the economy Seasonal demand The Competition The number of similar properties for sale Their prices, financing terms, location and physical condition Some factors have no effect on the current value of your property: Original price What you originally paid for your house Needed proceeds The cash proceeds you want or need from the sale Opinions What people say your property is worth The Best Price Attainable What Affects The Market Value Of Your Property? In understanding the market value of your property, we must deal with some factors that we have no control over. Marketing We will assist you in determining the most effective list price for your property SELLER SERVICES GUARANTEE

  33. Market Value Your house has many values to the tax assessor, your lender and insurance company, and to you. It also has what’s called “market value” to prospective buyers. The best price obtainable can only be determined by testing the market and challenging the competition. In the end, the market dictates the value based on current conditions, number of Home Buyers, etc. Competitive Market Analysis To help determine a price for your home, a Competitive Market Analysis is included in your customized Marketing Action Plan. Buyers do “comparison shopping” and the Competitive Market Analysis focuses on properties on the market competing for buyer attention.   The Best Price Attainable An Important Message About The Value Of Your House The price of your house must attract enough attention among buyers and brokers to generate showings and offers.

  35. If your property is priced right, more buyers will be interested when it first hits the market. Since mortgages are based on fair market value, not the sale price, more buyers will be able to consider your property when it is priced competitively. If a property fails to appraise at fair market value, it will either force the buyer to make up the difference in cash or cause the sale to fall through. The Best Price Attainable Pricing Your Property The higher a property is priced above realistic market value, the more time it will take to sell and the less interest it will attract.
