THE MARKET VALUE OF YOUR HOME IS DETERMINED IN SEVERAL WAYS: 

 The Market Value of your home is not:

1. What you have in it.

2. What you need out of it.

3. What you want.

4. What it appraised for.

5. What you heard your neighbors house sold for.

6. What the tax office says it is worth.

7. How much it is insured for.

8. Based on memories and treasures.

9. Based on prices of homes where you are moving.

 The True Market Value of your home is: 

1. What a buyer is willing to pay for your property.

2. Based on today’s market.

3. Based on today’s competition.

4. Based on today’s financing.

5. Based on today’s economic conditions.

6. Based on the buyer’s perception of your home’s condition.

7. Based on location.

8. Based on normal marketing time.

 Properties can be sold in today’s market by:

1. Lowering the price to match your competition.

2. Dramatically improving your home’s condition over your competition.

3. Improving the way your home “shows”.

4. Hiring an aggressive real estate agent.
