Five factors that determine your home’s value!

The Value of a home is based on much more than just the house itself! There are many factors that need to be considered to determine that value!

The Value of a home is based on much more than just the
house itself!  There are many factors
that need to be considered to determine that value:


  1. Location: Location is often the number one
    factor that determines the home value.

  2. Price: It is crucial to set a realistic price
    from the beginning.  The price will
    affect how long a home stays on the market. 

  3. Competition: Buyers will compare the price of
    your homes to similar properties available in the area as well as those that
    have recently sold.

  4. Condition: 
    First impressions are important. 
    Buying a home is both emotional and subject; therefore, make sure that
    your home looks good both inside and out.

  5. Current Market:  The real estate market is in a constant state
    of flux.  It cannot be manipulated and is
    difficult to forecast.  Conditions such
    as foreclosures and short sales significantly impact homes values.
