Market Analysis Explanation

This is an explanation and overview of this market analysis.

This Comparative Market Analysis will help to determine the correct

selling price of your home. Ultimately, the correct selling price is the

highest possible price the market will bear.

This market analysis is divided into two categories:

1. Comparable homes that are currently for sale

2. Comparable homes that were recently sold

Looking at similar homes that are currently offered for sale, we can

assess the alternatives that a serious buyer has from which to

choose. We can also be sure that we are not under pricing your

home.

Looking at similar homes that were sold in the past few months, we

can see a clear picture of how the market has valued homes that are

comparable to yours. Banks and other lending institutions also

analyze these sales to determine how much they can lend to qualified

buyers.

This Comparative Market Analysis has been carefully prepared for

you, analyzing homes similar to yours. The aim of this market

analysis is to achieve the maximum selling price for your home, while

being able to sell your home within a relatively short period of time.

The Importance of Pricing

This chart highlights the importance of pricing correctly at market value.

This graph illustrates the importance of pricing correctly. The centerline

represents market value. As you move above this market value, you attract

much smaller percentage of prospective buyers, greatly reducing your

chances of a sale. Conversely, as you move below market value, you attract

a much larger percentage of potential buyers.




ALLBRIGHT CRES

Activity vs. Timing


This chart illustrates the level of excitement and interest in a new listing over time. It

also demonstrates the importance of pricing correctly. When a property is first listed,

it generates a very high level of interest from prospective buyers, which reduces

dramatically over time. It is important to be priced correctly from the beginning,

during the peak of this curve.




ALLBRIGHT CRES

The Effect of Over Pricing


This is the average percentage difference between the Selling and Asking

Price by the length of time the home was on the market.

- Put your best foot forward immediately

- Establish a competitive asking price

- Keep your home in top showing condition

- Offer favorable financing terms




ALLBRIGHT CRES

Setting the Price


When setting a price for your property, the listing

level must strike a balance between the seller’s need

to achieve the best-possible return and the buyer’s

need to get good value. With many years of

experience, a professional Real Estate Agent can help

you set a price that will accomplish both objectives.

Establishing market value

The market value of your property is determined in

exactly the same way as any other commodity – what

a buyer is willing to pay for it in today’s market.

Despite the price you paid originally, or the value of

any improvements you may have made, the value is

determined by market forces.

Look at the competition

Buyers look at about a dozen properties on average

before making an offer on a property. As a result, they

have a good overview of the market and will compare

your property against the competition. If it’s not in

line with similar properties that are available, buyers

won’t consider it good value for money.




ALLBRIGHT CRES

The Pitfalls of Overpricing


Overpricing your house in

the belief that you can

reduce the price back later

is a strategy that can

backfire badly. For

example, by the time you

reduce your price, you may

miss out on a surge of

interest in properties like

yours. Also, if prices are

lowered, buyers may

wonder if there’s

something wrong with the

property that kept other

buyers away. So to keep

from selling your property

at below market value and

from wasting valuable

time, don’t fall into the

overpricing trap.

Steps to a Positive Showing

This page describes the key steps to making for a positive showing of your property.

You only get one opportunity to make a good impression, so you want to make it count. By following

these guidelines, you’ll enhance the attractiveness of your property and reduce the time it takes to

generate serious offers.

First Impressions

How your property appears from the

outside is important.

Ø Clean driveway

Ø Freshly mown lawn

Ø Trimmed hedge

Ø Look at condition of Windows,

shutters, screen and gutters

Ø Does the property need painting?

Ø Make sure front door and any

windows are spotless including

doorknob

Cleanliness Counts

Once inside your property, cleanliness is

important.

Ø Most important is front hallway

Ø Kitchen and the bathrooms.

Ø Do a room-by-room cleaning

Ø out-of-sight

The state of the carpets can also be a

determining factor, have your carpets

cleaned, if they are worn, it’s wise to

replace

Less is More

Ø Clutter makes a poor impression.

Ø Get rid of, store or donate

unnecessary furniture.

Ø Walk through your property and think:

“Less is more.”

Repairs

Ø Make sure everything is in good

working order.

Ø Dripping faucets, squeaky steps and

loose doorknobs etc.

Little Things Count

Ø Improve the appearance of any room.

Ø You may want to replace worn rugs or

small pillows.

Ø Put new towels in the bathroom or

brighten up a room with a vase of

flowers.

Pull Together

Ø Make sure all household members

help tidy up and keep it that way.




ALLBRIGHT CRES

What it Takes to Show

This page describes what it takes to show your property.

Scheduling the Showing

Ø Coordination is the key.

Ø All sales associates from our firm or a

cooperating broker will contact you to

schedule an appointment.

Ø You will be notified of the timing, and, if it’

s acceptable, the appointment will be

confirmed.

Ø If you can’t be reached, the showing will

proceed.

Timing

Ø Ordinarily, you’ll get plenty of notice about

an appointment request.

Ø For buyers that want to view ASAP or a

change in schedule, you’ll be given as

much notice as possible.

Special Instructions

Ø Information on pets, parking, security,

etc. will be listed in your property file.

Ø Sales associates wanting to show the

listing will receive a copy of the

instructions.

The Showing

Ø If you’re not on hand during a showing,

the sales associate will use the property’s

lock box to enter. If you’re available, sales

associates will introduce themselves and

give you a business card.

Privacy

Ø Limit the number of people at home.

Ø Let the buyer roam freely and discuss the

property with the sales associate without

interruption.

Ø A properly briefed sales associate will

know the buyer’s needs and will be able

to point out the features that meet the

requirements.

Contact Information

Ø If you’re not available to approve an

appointment request, leave a phone

number where you can be contacted so

you can be notified immediately about an

offer.

Previews

Ø Occasionally, sales associates may

schedule an appointment to view your

property without a buyer. By familiarizing

themselves with what’s on the market,

they will be an excellent position to alert a

buyer to a property that fits the bill.

Unscheduled Appointments

Ø Appointment requests must be made first

through your listing agent.

Ø Ask any people who show up without an

appointment to contact the listing agent to

request a showing. Even if the person

identifies himself or herself as a licensed

sales associate.
