How Much Is Your House
Worth?
We
provide you with the fair market value of your home plus a
strategic listing price as well. Every home seller wants
top dollar for his or her home. It’s our aim to make available
the most recent information that will enable your success.
With each
custom report you will learn:
-
The fair market value of
your home.
-
A recommended listing price.
-
How many
days you can expect your home to be on the market before
it’s sold.
-
Recent
neighborhood sales.
-
Recent expired listings.
-
Pending and contingent
contracts.
-
Who your
competition is.
- How much
sellers are contributing toward buyer closing costs.

8 Terms to Watch for in a
Purchase Contract
1. The closing date. See if the date the buyer wants to
take title is reasonable for you.
2. Date of possession. See if the date the buyer wants
to move in is reasonable for you.
3. The earnest money. Look for the largest earnest money
deposit possible; a large deposit is usually a good indication
of a sincere buyer.
4. Fixtures and personal property. Check the list of
items that the buyer expects to remain with the property
and be sure it’s acceptable.
5. Repairs. Determine what the requested repairs will
cost and whether you’re willing to do the work or would
rather lower the price by that amount.
6. Contingencies. See what other factors the buyer wants
met before the contract is final—inspections, selling a
home, obtaining a mortgage, review of the contract by an
attorney. Set time limits on contingencies so that they
won’t drag on and keep your sale from becoming final.
7. The contract expiration date. See how long you have
to make a decision on the offer.
8. Seller contribution. In
a buyer's market it's not unusual for the buyer to ask the
seller to pay for some or all of their closing costs. Make
sure you know how much they are asking for.

Quick Tip:
Sales
statistics show that properties that are initially priced too high
eventually sell for less than properties that were correctly priced in
the first place. Also, over-priced houses can take months or even years
to sell, while properly priced houses usually sell in a matter of weeks
or even days. When selecting your agent, make sure that each Realtor you
interview presents a CMA (or Comparative Market Analysis) that shows
what he or she thinks your house is worth. The average or median price
will likely be very close to your home's true market value. |
