Determining the Value of Your HomeA Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is essentialto determine the value of residential property.Location and characteristics of the property are thekey elements in determining value. Therefore, thebasis for valuation is similar properties in your area.The market analysis takes into account the amountreceived from recent sales of comparable propertiesand the quantity and quality of comparableproperties currently on the market. The desired endresult is to find a price that will attract a willing andable buyer in a reasonable time.

Once the value of your home has been determined, you can decide on an offering price that will achieveyour goals. Generally, the price should not exceed the value by more than 5% or potential buyers maynot even make offers. Naturally, if you want to sell quickly your asking price should be very near thevalue.

The following are a few things to keep in mind about pricing:

� Realistic pricing will achieve maximum price in a reasonable time.

� Your cost or profit desire is irrelevant; the market determines the price.

� The cost of improvements are almost always more than the added value.

� Houses that remain on the market for a long time do not get shown.

� A house that is priced right from the beginning achieves the highest proceeds.


The Importance of Intelligent Pricing

Figure 1 - Percentage of Buyers by Asking Price

Figure 2 - Activity versus Timing

Figure 3 - The Effect of Overpricing

Determining the best asking price for a home can be oneof the most challenging aspects of selling a home. It isalso one of the most important. If your home is listed at aprice that is above market value, you will miss out onprospective buyers who would otherwise be primecandidates to purchase your home. If you list at a pricethat is below market value, you will ultimately sell for aprice that is not the optimum value for your home. AsFigure 1 illustrates, more buyers purchase theirproperties at market value than above market value. Thepercentage increases as the price falls even further belowmarket value. Therefore, by pricing your property atmarket value, you expose it to a much greater percentageof prospective buyers. This increases your chances for asale while ensuring a final sale price that properlyreflects the market value of your home.

Another critical factor to keep in mind when pricing yourhome is timing. A property attracts the most attention,excitement and interest from the real estate communityand potential buyers when it is first listed on the market(see Figure 2). Improper pricing at the initial listingmisses out on this peak interest period and may result inyour property languishing on the market. This may leadto a below market value sale price (see Figure 3), or,even worse, no sale at all. Therefore, your home has thehighest chances for a fruitful sale when it is new on themarket and the price is reasonably established.

We can give you up-to-date information on what ishappening in the marketplace and the price, financing,terms, and condition of competing properties. These arekey factors in getting your property sold at the best price,quickly and with minimum hassle.

Pricing Your Property to Sell

Pricing your property correctly is crucial. You want to sell yourproperty in a timely manner at the highest price possible. Currentmarket conditions determine the value.

Pricing too high or too low can cost you time and money. Realisticpricing will achieve a maximum sale price in a reasonable amount oftime.

Analysis of the comparable propertiessuggests a list price range of:

$166,000 to $176,000


Pricing Strategy

General Rules.Let's review some important considerations. There are certain factors that arebeyond our control and certain factors that are within our control. Those factorsoutside of our control are: the location of the property, the finished square feet andtypes of rooms and the amenities that are in place. Those factors we can controlare: the appearance of the property inside and out, how aggressively we market theproperty and the price, including terms. It is critical for us to accept those factorsthat are beyond our control and to focus on pricing and preparation.

Local Market Observations.Our market is currently steady. Properties are not moving very fast but they arenot languishing for months either. Given the current interest rate situation weshould continue to experience relatively low mortgage rates and thus the marketshould remain steady for awhile.

Suggested Price Strategy.My analysis of the comparable properties suggests a list price range of $166,000to $176,000. This range should achieve your primary goal which is a reasonablyquick sale.
