    Pricing

    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 the asking price."
    • "The buyers can always make an offer."
    • "My neighbor was able to get his price."

    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.

    • Over Improvement - 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 will have to pay more for a home has nothing to do with the home's current market value.
