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

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.
