Not too high and not to low! Price it right and it will go!

Determining a price for your home is both an art and a science and I have been perfecting it year after year. 

Here are a few things I have learned over the years:

Factors that do affect a property value:
  • style
  • location
  • time of the year
  • property and neighborhood
  • how quickly seller needs to sell
Factors that do not affect a property value:
  • what the owners paid when they bought the property
  • some of the improvements or upgrades the owners made to the property
  • the cash proceeds the owners need or want from the transaction
  • what friends, neighbors or relatives say the property is worth

Great real estate news nationwide

Heard on the radio yesterday, while driving around from one appointment to the next "sales of existing homes went up 12% nationwide, largest increase in the last 7 years".  Indeed!
