characteristics of the property are the key elements in determining value. Therefore, the basis for valuation is
similar properties in your area.
THE FOLLOWING ARE A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND ABOUT PRICING:
• Realistic pricing will achieve maximum price in a reasonable time
• The market determines the price
• The cost of improvements are almost always more than the added value
• Houses that remain on the market for a long time do not get shown
• A house that is priced right from the beginning typically achieves the highest proceeds

FACTORS THAT HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE
CURRENT VALUE OF YOUR HOME:
• What you paid for it
• Your Investment in the property (such as baths
or kitchen upgrades, etc)
• What you want to net from the sale
• What those outside the industry believe the
property is worth
