When you are considering putting your Pleasanton home up for sale, you have probably wondered how your home compares to the other homes being sold in your area.
Perhaps you have also wondered if you are putting the right price on your home.
Knowing the market in your area plays a big part in the calculation of your home’s equity. You don’t want to price it higher than other homes for sale or else it’ll sit around for years. However, you don’t want to price it lower than other homes and lose out on a good deal for your home. You need to have just the right price to attract buyers, while keeping your interests in check.
This means scoping out the comparables in your neighborhood. And the most effective way is to enlist the assistance of an expert real estate agent like me - Rhonda Fee.
As a professional real estate agent, I can give you a comparative market analysis or CMA, a report that shows you the comparable homes sold within the last 12 months in your neighborhood.
It also reflects the active homes for sale in Pleasanton and the pending list, homes that are sold but have not yet closed. And it also has the expired listings, homes that are not sold within the listing period.
Having the CMA as a resource is advantageous and beneficial because it can help you decide on the right amount to sell your home.
It is less hassle for you because you do not need to go to the different homes being sold in your area and interview the new owners. It ensures you have the updated and accurate information about the recent real estate transactions in your community.
With the information included in the CMA, you can correctly price your home.
Before proceeding to selling your home, here’s the latest sales and trends in Pleasanton.
This chart is taken from https://bayeast.org/community-info/community-info/pleasanton/, the website of the association of REALTORS® in Pleasanton. It reflects the number of active listings, sold homes and pending units from April 2016 to April of this year.
As you can see, since the start of this year, the number of homes being sold is higher than the number of active listings. As of last month, all listed 20 single family homes were sold!
This was not the case last year. From April to October, sales were a little slow, but rose suddenly in November and December.
If you look at the other charts and tables on the website, under the Housing Market Information Current Report, you will also see a favorable trend of home selling in Pleasanton.
This means if you sell your home now with the help of an experienced real estate agent, you have a very high chance of selling your home!
