What Determines Market Value?A property’s value is determined by what home-buyers will pay! • Properties compete for buyers’ attention. • Buyers compare properties to determine value. • Sellers and agents do not control property value. • Proper pricing anticipates what buyers will be willing to pay. People buy with emotions. Over-priced homes will not allow the buyer to get emotionally involve with the home. Presented by Alvin Pavao
Factors That Do Not Affect Value Prices of homes are not determined by: • The seller’s original purchase price. • The net proceeds the seller requires. • The opinions of others. • Major improvements.(they rarely recoup their cost) Offers only reflect the value buyers place on a property after they’ve compared it to others, and they don’t take the seller’s needs into account. Presented by Alvin Pavao
Selling Price vs. Timing ACTIVITY 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 WEEKS Start With The Right Price Price Too High…Excitement Is Lost • Timing is extremely important. A property attracts the most interest when its first listed. • Starting too high and dropping the price later misses the excitement and fails to generates as much activity. • It may even become necessary to drop the price below market value to compete with new, well- priced listings. Presented by Alvin Pavao
Competitive Market AnalysisEstablishing the perfect price for your home! In determining a range of value…we consider (4) categories of homes. In order of importance they are: • Currently Listed Properties • Properties Currently Under Contract (Pending) • Recently Sold Properties • Expired Listings Buyers determine value by comparison shopping. They look at the price of your home based on it features and benefits, and compare it with features and benefits of similar homes that have SOLD recently or are currently on the market. Presented by Alvin Pavao
How Buyers Hear About HomesAds Don’t Sell Homes…People Do! • 50% - Firm recognition or salesperson contact. • 20% - For sale sign • 8% - Responded to ad • 7% - Referred by relocation • 3% - Bought advertised home • 3% - Bought for a combination of reasons. • - Bought an Open House (percent varies by location and price) Source: National Association of Realtors Presented by Alvin Pavao
