The market value of your home can be estimated by taking the average price per square foot of comparable recent sales and multiplying this figure by your home's square footage. This same methodology is used by brokers, appraisers and the county assessor. Generally speaking, comparable properties should be limited to homes that have sold in the past three months that are similar in size, age, number of levels, number of bedrooms and number of baths and are in the same immediate geographic area as your home. While current active listings should be considered in developing an understanding of your competition in the marketplace, active listings should not be considered when estimating market value. Your Atova agent will prepare a free Comparable Market Analysis on your behalf which will provide you with the market information necessary to estimate your home's current market value and evaluate your competition.

While a home may have a certain market value, the saleable value of the home will often vary significantly. Like any other product, the sale of real estate involves an inverse relationship between time and money. If you want top dollar for your home you can expect your home to take longer to sell. On the other hand, if you are willing to sell your home at a discount you can expect your home to sell more quickly. The saleable value of your home is a factor of the supply and demand in the marketplace and the timeframe in which you desire to get your home sold. Your Atova agent will help you calculate saleable value based on current market conditions and your goals in the sale of your Idaho real estate.

The supply and demand in the marketplace will determine, in part, how long it will take to sell you home. Moreover, the supply and demand in the marketplace will determine the direction of the market. Large demand and limited supply will drive values higher. Limited demand and excess supply will drive prices lower. It is important to take both of these dynamics into consideration when putting your home on the market. Your Atova agent will provide you with a supply and demand analysis for the focused market, mid-market and broad markets. This will provide you with a comprehensive view of current real estate supply and demand conditions.

When the time comes to determine a list price for your home you should consider time on market targets, negotiation buffers, price threshold strategy and successful appraisal probability. Your time on market goals combined with supply and demand market conditions will enable your Atova agent to determine a strategically sound list price. Also worth considering is adding a margin to your list price. Many sellers add several thousand dollars onto their target sale price to arrive at their list price. This builds in a buffer to accommodate buyer negotiations. Also of significant important are price thresholds. Buyers tend to shop for real estate by price point, not by price per square foot. Thus, a buyer searching for a home "up to $300,000" may not ever encounter your home if you are priced at $305,000. Appraisal is also a key consideration. If your list price exceeds market value it is unlikely that the home will appraise. If the home does not appraise then the buyer will be unable to obtain financing and your transaction will fail to close. Using these considerations and others, your Atova agent will help you determine the best pricing strategy for your home.
