Key Market FactorsHow long does it take to sell a property? Some properties sell in a few days, others may takeseveral months. By recognizing some key factors that influence marketing a home, you can getsignificant control over market time.

The proper balance of these factors will expedite your sale:

LOCATIONLocation is the single greatest factor affecting value. A neighborhood’s desirability is basic to aproperty’s fair market value.

COMPETITIONBuyers compare your property against others in that neighborhood. Buyers interpret value basedon available properties on the market.

TIMINGThe real estate market may reflect a “buyers” or “sellers” market. Market conditions cannot bemanipulated; an individually tailored marketing plan of action must be developed for eachproperty.

CONDITIONThe property condition will affect price and speed of sale. Optimizing physical appearance andadvance preparation for marketing maximizes value.

TERMSThe more terms available, the larger the market, the quicker the sale and the higher the price.Terms structured to meet your objectives are important to successful marketing.

PRICEIf the property is not properly priced, a sale may be delayed or even prevented. Reviewing theCompetitive Market Analysis assists you in determining the best possible price.

Price Your Home Correctly to Attract Buyers

Determining the Value of Your Home

A Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) is essential to determine the value of residential property. Location and characteristics of the property are the key elements in determining value. Therefore, the basis for valuation is similar properties in your area. The CMA takes into account the amount received from recent sales of competitive properties as well as the quantity and quality of competitive properties currently on the market. The desired end result, of course, is to find the price that attracts a willing and able buyer in a reasonable time.

Once the value of your home has been determined, you can decide on an offering price that will achieve your goals. Generally, the price should not exceed the value by more than 5% or potential buyers may not even make offers. Naturally, if you want to sell quickly your asking price should be very near the value.

The following are a few things to keep in mind about pricing:

• Realistic pricing will achieve a maximum price in a reasonable amount of time.

• Your cost or profit desire is irrelevant. The market determines the price.

• The costs of improvements are almost always more than the added value.

• Houses that remain on the market for a long time tend to not be shown.

• A house that is priced right from the beginning achieves the highest proceeds.

Intelligent Terms, Intelligent PricingPercentage of Prospective Buyers Who Can Purchase Your Home

Today, not only do we need a willing buyer, we often need to help the buyer obtain suitable financing. The ability to secure the right financing is largely dependent upon the payment of points, which is money paid up front to lending institutions which enable them to make loans competitively—at or below market rates. One point is equal to one percent of the new loan amount. Seller participation in financing by paying some or all of the points is a real edge.

Percentage of Prospective Buyers Who Will Look at Property

If you overprice your home:• It makes other homes more attractive and can actually help sell the competition.

• It will be shown to fewer prospective buyers.

• Fewer prospects will respond to the advertising.

• You may lose buyers who are willing to negotiate.
