The Price is Right – Home Edition

yourhomesmarketvalueThe True Market Value of Your Home Is:

What a Buyer is Willing to Pay for the Property and What a Lender is Willing to Lend

Market value IS:

  • Based on today’s market.
  • Based on today’s competition.
  • Based on today’s financing.
  • Based on today’s economic conditions.
  • Based on the buyer’s perception of property condition.
  • Based on location.
  • Based on normal marketing time.

  • What you have in it
  • What you need out of it
  • What it is appraised for
  • The Zillow “Zestimate” (or any other computerized valuation)
  • What you heard your neighbor’s house sold for
  • What the tax office says it’s worth
  • What it is insured for
  • Based on memories and treasures
  • Based on prices of homes where you are moving
