Establishing the Market Value for your Home

When you wish to sell your home, it is important to establish the market value of your home to have a quick turnaround on the sale. When a home is priced higher than what buyers will pay, the home is likely to remain on the market for a longer period of time and more than likely, the selling price will be lower than the asking price. That's why, pricing your home accurately for a sale is critical.

The market value for your home is determined by several factors:
1) Recent sales - selling prices of comparable homes in the recent past
2) Failed to sell - Properties offered for sale but failed to sale reflect undesirable listing prices
3) Pending sales - Properties under contract but not closed is a good indicator of the price range
4) Competitive active listings - Properties listed for sale that will compete with yours in the market

Note: The Market Value of your home is not determined by what you paid, what others paid for their home, or the improvements made, but a combination of the above factors.
