If
you are planning to sell your house, you should know its worth. Setting the
right price is one major aspect of your marketing plan regardless of whether
you do the selling yourself or you hire an agent. The agent can easily run a
market analysis but you don’t want to be blindsided by the agent’s
recommendation alone.
Location
A
house’s location plays an important part in its value. A property owner can’t
get away with this one. If your house happens to be in a desirable location,
you can always get a higher price than you can for the same house in less
desirable neighborhood. Houses near to schools, shopping malls, restaurants and
coffee shops, and transportation areas are expected to be more expensive.
House Condition
A
well-maintained house has a better chance of selling for more than a run-down house
in the same location. No one wants to buy an expensive house with less than
perfect heating system, with leaking roofs, with broken windows, or with poor
interior. Keeping your house in top condition will give you a good return of
investment should you decide to sell.
Features
The
number of bedrooms and bathrooms, presence of a swimming pool or indoor gym,
square footage of the house, modern kitchens and bathrooms can also increase
your house’s value. Obviously, a six-bedroom house costs more than a
two-bedroom house.
Comparable and
Market Condition
Comparable
houses can also be used as basis for your house’s value. Check the recent sold
houses in your area and take note of the houses’ price which is similar to
yours. Your asking price should be within the same range, otherwise, your price
will be considered as too high.
As
soon as you have decided on your asking price, you can focus on your marketing
strategy to find potential buyers.
