What is My Home Worth?
Understanding Market Value vs. Listing Price
Several factors influence your home's current market value, and it's important to understand the difference between Market Value and Listing Price when selling.
-
Market Value – This is the estimated worth of your home based on recent comparable sales in your area. As your Listing Agent and a PSA (Pricing Strategy Advisor), I analyze market data, assess trends, and provide a detailed report on what the market indicates your home is worth. This is the same type of analysis an appraiser would use when determining value.
-
Listing Price – This is the price you, as the seller, set based on market conditions and your specific goals. It may be the same as, higher, or lower than market value, depending on factors such as competition, demand, and your timeline for selling. I’ll provide guidance to help you make an informed decision that aligns with your objectives.
