Radio Spot #10 - "Pricing your home."

How much?

Anybody selling their home wants to get as much as possible for it.

Anybody buying a home wants to pay as little as possible for it.

SO

WHAT CONSTITUTES A FAIR & REASONABLE PRICE FOR ANY GIVEN HOME?

There's an old saying that "a thing is worth what you pay for it." And it's true, that when a willing buyer and a willing seller agree on a price that clinches the deal, both parties have in effect said, THIS is what the home is worth.

BUT

Before you get to the point of negotiation, it's helpful to know what comparable properties in the area have been selling for.  Ask your REALTOR for a current comparative market analysis that contains this information.

A detailed professional appraisal takes into consideration multiple factors:

• Square footage
• Quality of construction
• # of beds and baths
• Updates (or lack of)
• Neighborhood
• Garage
• Lot
• Supply and demand

FINALLY

When you're ready to make an offer on a property you like, be sure to make it contingent on a satisfactory home inspection by a licensed professional, to avoid any "surprises" after the fact.
