DETERMINING THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is essential to determine the value of residential property. Location and characteristics of the property are the key elements in determining value. Therefore, the basis for valuation is similar properties in your area. The market analysis takes into account the amount received from recent sales of comparable properties and the quantity and quality of comparable properties currently on the market. The desired end result is to find a price that will attract a willing and able buyer or buyers in a reasonable time. Once the value of your home has been determined, you can decide on an offering price that will achieve your goals. Generally, the price should not exceed the value by more than 5% or potential buyers may not even make offers. Naturally, if you want to sell quickly your asking price should be very near the value. The following are a few things to keep in mind about pricing: •
Realistic pricing will achieve maximum price in a reasonable time.
•
Your cost or profit desire is irrelevant; the market determines the price.
•
The cost of improvements are almost always more than the added value.
•
Houses that remain on the market for a long time do not get shown.
•
A house that is priced right from the beginning achieves the highest proceeds.
DETERMINING THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME
Another critical factor to keep in mind when pricing your home is timing. A property attracts the most attention, excitement and interest from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed on the market (see Figure 2). Improper pricing at the initial listing misses out on this peak interest period and may result in your property languishing on the market. This may lead to a below market value sale price (see Figure 3), or, even worse, no sale at all. Therefore, your home has the highest chances for a fruitful sale when it is new on the market and the price is reasonably established. Harry Norman, REALTORS® will give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms, and condition of competing properties. These are key factors in getting your property sold at the best price, quickly and with minimum hassle.

Determining the best asking price for a home can be one of the most important parts of the home sale process. If your home is listed at a price that is above market value, you will miss out on candidates to purchase your home. If you list at a price that is below market value, you will ultimately sell for a price that is not the optimum value for your home. As Figure 1 illustrates, more buyers purchase their properties at market value than above market value. The percentage increases as the price falls even further below market value. Therefore, by pricing your property at market value, you expose it to a much greater percentage of prospective buyers. This increases your chances for a sale while ensuring a final sale price that properly reflects the market value of your home.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR HOME FOR SHOWINGS Marketing your home is a team effort and you are an important part of the team. The following checklist will help set the stage for a speedy sale at the highest price. When a prospective buyer looks at your home, these suggestions are the very things that influence a buyer’s first impression.
Making a Great First Impression Inside Your Home Kitchens, bathrooms, floors and woodwork are the key. Keep these areas clean and in good condition. Keep ovens, stoves or surface units and all porcelain or stainless steel clean. Cabinet counter tops should be clean and kitchen accessories in order. Remove unnecessary clutter from counter tops. Whether you have hardwood floors, wall-to-wall carpet, tile or any combination, keeping them clean is important. Mop or sweep hardwood or tile. Vacuum carpets thoroughly, clean if needed. Bathrooms are of great importance in the overall appearance of your home. If grout between tile has cracked and fallen out, it is best to re-caulk those areas. Replace old furnace filters and remove any dust accumulations from heat registers or vent covers. If doors stick or folding doors are off track, repair them. Storage is important to any prospective homeowner. Cluttered closets and other storage areas may accentuate a storage problem, especially in homes without basements. Clean out closets. Pack items you do not use, leaving only those needed before you move.
If any rooms within the house are dark during daylight keep curtains or drapes open and if necessary, keep a lamp on. Also, make sure that all windows are clean. A bright, cheerful room is pleasing and gives an air of spaciousness. If interior painting is necessary, use neutral colors. Replace any burned out light bulbs, especially in the basement or darker rooms. Tighten door knobs, window fittings and other hardware. Do not hide a problem; it will come back to haunt you. Cracks in walls or concrete, broken appliances, roof leaks or wet basements should be repaired. Keep all steps clear of any hazards. Make up beds with attractive spreads and dress up any windows in freshly laundered curtains. Keep pets out of way during showings. Pack personal photos. Too much seller personality prevents buyers from taking “personal possession” of a home. Put all valuables in a secure place.
CURB APPEAL CHECKLIST The first impression of your property is key to attracting a buyer. The small things you do outside can help bring buyers inside.
THE HOUSE EXTERIOR ❏ Your front door gives a vital first impression. A little
linseed oil will freshen up stained wood. If painted, wash with soap and water. If paint or varnish is chipped or peeling, a fresh coat of paint may be in good order.
THE YARDS AND GROUNDS ❏ Keep the yard cut and trimmed. ❏ Trim and shape the shrubs if necessary. ❏ Keep garbage cans area neat and free of trash.
❏ Clean gutters if needed.
❏ Stack woodpiles neatly.
❏ Repair any torn screens or replace existing ones.
❏ Keep drives and walks swept and clean
❏ Hose off or pressure wash exterior wood and trim.
❏ Put a fresh layer of pine straw on pine islands.
❏ If gutters or exterior wood are in need of paint because
❏ Keep surface water drainage areas and natural streams
of obvious cracking, peeling or chipping, it is best to repair those condensation areas. ❏ If you have window air conditioning units, wipe them
clean and remove any rust that may have accumulated around condensation areas. ❏ If you have an outside patio or deck, make sure any lawn
furniture, gas grills or exposed wood are in good repair.
free from debris that may cause water to stand or stagnate. ❏ Pick up toys, tools, bicycles, etc.
RENOVATION, REPAIR AND PAINTING (RRP) DISCLAIMER If you, as either seller or buyer, intend to disturb paint, remodel or renovate your residential property (or other type of property that is considered a “child-occupied facility” such as a day care, pre-school or kindergarten) AND your property was built before 1978, you should become familiar with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Residential Property Renovation Rule, called Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP). Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children. To protect against this danger, the EPA issued the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule. Under the Rule, beginning in April 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO ME? ❏ You should seek to use a contractor who is certified by the EPA if your property is covered under the Rule, for safety reasons. A list of EPA certified renovators can be found at http://cfpub.epa.gov/flpp/ searchrrp_firm.htm. ❏ All contractors who work on your property and disturb more than the allowed amount of lead based
paint (6 square feet indoors or 20 square feet outdoors, any window replacement and other specified items) within a 30-day period are required to be certified by the EPA and to use safety procedures, including providing you with a copy of the pamphlet: Renovate Right: Important Lead Hazard Information for Families, Child Care Providers and Schools.
❏ You should make certain that any bids you obtain for painting, remodeling or renovating your covered
property include all costs for compliance with the Residential Property Renovation Rule. It is anticipated that the Rule will increase costs to many contractors, so it is your responsibility to make sure any bids or estimates include contractor compliance costs to be passed on to you.
❏ Some pre-1978 properties are not covered by the Requirement, or can opt out of the coverage; for more
information, visit www.epa.gov/lead.
❏ If you are doing work yourself, check out the EPA website for further information on how to safely complete
your work, but you are NOT affected by the requirements, for your own work in owner occupied properties.
BE SAFE! Get your bids and estimates from a Certified Renovator and review the EPA website for more specific information. HomeServices of America, Inc. Copyright April 1, 2010 _________ Initials ________ Initials
