Valuing your home correctly
Obtaining an accurate valuation on your home is essential if you are wanting to achieve a high level of interest from prospective buyers.
It goes without saying that as a seller, you want to achieve the highest possible price for your home, but you also want to tempt buyers with an accurate valuation. An over priced property, regardless of it’s condition, is likely to detract buyers, especially when there are similar properties in the area being marketed for less. Similarly, a low valuation will generate more interest in your home, but may prevent you obtaining the maximum amount for your home.
There is no science to a valuation and once you understand how agents value a home you will be able to see how straightforward it is. This can be easily done by finding out how much similar properties in the area have either recently sold for i.e. actually exchanged for. This is very different to how much they are on the market for. You can do this either through the sites that you too can look up (such as Rightmove.com & Primelocation.com), or by phoning local estate agents. Below are the different ways to value your home.
Value your own home
To value your own home, you need to have an idea of what similar properties in your area are priced at, and the actual sales price of recently sold homes.
You can research similar homes on the market by going to www.Primelocation.com
