If there is one question I get asked most often, it is this one.Sorry to say, no simple explanation exists. So let’s look at the most important factors, some of which we can change and some that we do not have control over. Start with location, which will only help to predetermine market value. The second major factor is condition, which we do have influence over. The better the property condition then the more likely you are to have a quicker sale. Often, a pre-listing inspection along with your Realtor’s recommendation can go a long way in getting your house ready to be sold. The final, and most important is the price you ask. If you don’t want to accept the suggested listing price from your agent, then I suggest you hire your own independent appraiser. Every property is salable; the only unanswered question is at what price. Good Luck!
