| Making an Offer |
Find out the selling prices of similar properties to use as a guideline to set your sales price. These comparable properties should have sold no more than six months earlier, should be around the same age and condition, should have close to the same number of bathrooms, bedrooms and square footage and should be in a similar location and on a similar lot.
If you still don’t feel comfortable setting a price, consider having a professional appraisal done. Appraisers look at what the home is worth today and how the neighborhood may affect future property value. If you have the time and want a realistic figure for the true market value of the property, an appraiser is your best bet.
The most important thing to remember is to rely on yourself. You’ve looked at enough properties to know what similar houses are listed for. This knowledge will provide you with a good idea of the price range of your future home. |
