Statements frequently heard from sellers that really have nothing to
do with the home’s value:
“Another agent said it was
worth more.”
“People always offer less
than asking price.”
“The buyers can always
make an offer.”
“My neighbor was able to
get his price.”
“We paid more than that
for our home.”
Other factors that do not affect value:
-
Your Original Purchase Price:
Chances are you paid market value. Markets change and today
we have to deal with the current market conditions which may have
changed significantly.
Improvements should be made for enjoyment, not resale. You cannot add an
item to a home, select it to your style, use it, then expect a buyer to
pay the original cost.
-
The Owner’s Need for Money:
The owner’s need for money or the fact that the owner is
moving to a more expensive area where he/she will have to pay more for a
home has nothing to do with the home’s current market value.
