The most important decision you will make regarding your home for sale in Lancaster, PA is the list price. It is worth what?

home for sale in lancaster pa As a seller of a home for sale, you need to understand that it is irrelevant that you have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on upgrades. It is irrelevant that you love your home. In other words, dollars spent or emotional ties to your home are not the best indicators of its value.

A good real estate agent will be able to perform a comparative market analysis. This will entail finding similar properties that have sold in the last 6 months and comparing the variety of details to determine a recommended list price.

Similar properties mean comparing similar styles, type of construction, age, square footage and a variety of amenities. Adjustments will be made for the differences which may be present between your home and the comparable properties. Not all agents have strength in this skill. It is one of my strengths.

Sometimes, no matter how compelling the comps, the owner still feels that emotional attachment which he or she thinks is worth more money.

Erv, it is fun. Sounds like you might like to buy one. Give me a call! :)

I hear you Gabe. Those are the tough ones. Will they ever become rational or just wait until the next agents reminds them of the comps.

Cal, I will buy a pie if you have one there. I am in Ohio with the grandkids and did the Amish area of Wooster today.

Cal - overcoming the emotional valuation or the money spent in over improvements of a property is often one of the biggest hindrances to a successful sale.
