What Is Your Home Worth Today? With the increase in social media and real estate “guru” websites, everyone has a say in what your home is worth. And, the home up the street may not be the best indicator. In the simplest terms, your home is worth exactly what a reasonable buyer with a fair market price will offer and a lender will finance for it. Market forces and appraisal values are the primary indicators of what a home is worth. The very best – really, the only – way for you to know now, before you decide to sell, is to review your FREE market analysis – request yours now.
Pricing Is Important In today’s market, we have an inventory shortage and that carries with it an interesting buyer dynamic. Fewer homes on market means less competition between similar homes, which can equate to faster sales for higher sales price. This can lead to over-pricing which may extend sales times and/or sell at an inflated price that will not appraise. It can also lead to buyer frustration leading to buyers taking a break – we saw this at the tail end of 2013 in a red hot sales market. The optimal situation is timing the launch of home priced within 2-3% of the optimal sales price. As your local experts, we will help you price your home at that optimal point.
Does Hiring a Local Expert Matter ABSOLUTELY – You’re not selling a car!

We know where to get the best appetizers, what routes to take during rush hour, where to find locally owned businesses and the intangible differences of the communities in our market.
But, “You have a friend…“ Everyone has a sister, nephew, friend in real estate in some city somewhere. We have those as well.
