No Little Boxes in Sylva NC...What Is Your House Worth?Monday Melodies
So...like, lots of agents I've been pretty busy.  Buyers needing to see properties, contracts to write (yes!), new listings-paperwork for new listings-photos for new listings, and fielding phone calls.  Lots of phone calls from people "thinking" about listing their homes.  Digging a little deeper, more than a few won't be listing their homes for quite some time or their neighbor's house just went on the market and they don't really want to list their own house just curious about the market value.  I get it.  The challenge in small towns in the mountains of Western North Carolina is to find good comparable recent sales of as similar properties as possible.  The callers are surprised to find out it might take a day or two to find out the answer what is their house worth.
 
Why?  We don't have suburbs or developments like larger cities.  There are no neighborhoods of blocks and blocks of identical houses with different paint colors or the choice between 2 or 3 bedrooms, garage or no garage, back deck or no deck.  No row houses, no single developer for all of those houses and certainly no overabundance of spec houses. (Side note - favorite misspelling in MLS which happens often "speck houses").  Heck ... more
