Determining                           Property Value
                        Determining  Property Value














               Arriving at a price for your property is crucial to the sale. While no seller wants to give
               the property away, neither should it be priced so out of proportion that it will not catch
               the attention of a buyer. Arriving at a realistic asking price is far easier with the input of a
               REALTOR ® who is familiar with property values, market trends, as well as your
               competition within the marketplace. They know it because they regularly preview homes
               for sale as well as those which have sold. Realtors will provide you with enough
               information in the form of comparable sales (which will compare lists prices of properties
               to actual selling prices for the properties), as well as information about houses which
               were listed, but for some reason did not sell (listing expired because of condition or high
               price) to better assist you to make an informed decision in pricing a home to meet your
               needs and if need be, to give you their unbiased, objective opinion. Purchasers in the
               market quickly come to realize values having seen a few properties with different
               amenities, so consider carefully before making the decision to ask more for the house
               than you really want or what properties are selling for in the neighborhood. Even though
               you may think you’re giving yourself negotiating room, if the price is not realistic, a
               prospective Purchaser may never see it simply because it is priced so high. A home
               priced too high may actually cost you money when it’s reduced over and over again in
               order to entice a Purchaser.
