Misconceptions on property values

Written by Posted On Thursday, 04 June 2015 08:08

Deciding on sales price? Don't roll the dice when pricing your property! The market won't allow a home to sell under market value. Just like the market won't allow a home to sell over market value.

Many factors need to be calculated in providing accurate property. There are many misconception that Seller have that believe that their property has more value than others. In fact they may be deterring factors. Below are just a few common misconceptions regarding value.

 

1.       Maintenance cost are re-cooped in the sales price.

2.       You get more for your property if you “pad” the price with bargaining room.

3.       Every buyer likes to bargain or negotiate on the price.

4.       The biggest house in a subdivision gets the highest price.

5.       Swimming pools and hot tubs always increase property value.

6.       Receiving an offer close to full price or at list price in the first week means that the house was under priced

7.       Waiting for more offers will get the seller a higher offer

8.       Garage conversions and guest houses increase the value of the property

 

 

Did you know that pricing your home to SELL can save you money over the long run. Property taxes, hazard insurance and mortgage interest are just a few items you pay and never get back.

With a warm smile,
