What is the market value of your property?

The market value of your property is not:

  • what you have in it
  • what you have to get out of it
  • what you want to get out of it
  • what you owe against it
  • what it appraised for
  • what your neighbor got for his/her home
  • what the county assessor has said it is worth
  • what the homes cost where you are moving
  • how much it is insured for
  • how you value your memories 

The market value of your home is what a buyer is willing to pay for it, what you are willing to sell it for, and what an appraiser values it at, based on:

  • current market conditions
  • current competition and buyer’s choices
  • current interest rates and mortgage lending conditions
  • the buyer’s perception of the condition of the property
  • the location
  • current normal marketing time
  • accessibility of property for showings

As a seller you control:

  • the price – price the property near the “front of the line”
  • how the property presents – stage your home
  • terms – offer attractive terms:  financing, timing, inclusions
  • condition – make appropriate repairs
  • access to the property – provide reasonable access for showings

As a seller you do not control:

  • market conditions – supply and demand
  • interest rates and credit conditions
  • location
  • competition’s motivation
  • motivation and ability of buyers
