Starting With the Right Selling Price Will Affect Your Bottom Line

When you are selling your home, the price that you start with is a critical factor in determining the final return that you will receive. That is why you need to obtain a market evaluation from an experienced professional Realtor. We can provide am honest assessment of your home. Some of the factors that we consider when preparing a real estate assessment include:

• The current local market conditions
• The condition of your home
• Improvements and repairs that you have made to the property
• The time frame in which you plan to place your home on the market

In real estate terms, the market value of a home or condo is the price at which a particular house, in its current condition, will sell for in the next 30 to 90 days.

We are often asked by homeowners about the potential return on investment that can be expected on a renovation project that they are considering.
According to the Appraisal Institute of Canada (AIC) the payback varies depending upon the project.

While these numbers are interesting, it is important to keep in mind that they are only relevant if you are renovating just prior to selling your home. If you are renovating to improve the liveability and/or enjoyment of your home you will want to take a different look at the situation. How much is enjoyment worth? Only you can decide on that Return on Investment.
