My listings have sold, on average, for 99.5% of list price within 8 days: April 08-April 09 Buying or Selling... My Appraisal Skills Will Make a Difference "Each Home Has its Own Set of Value Considerations" As one of a small number of active brokers in Toronto who is also a certified appraiser, I offer valuable expertise to my clients. An informed and well-considered appraisal of the home is essential to its successful, smooth and timely sale, or purchase. When evaluating your home, I carefully weigh a wide array of indicators: Macroeconomic trends. Local economic trends Neighbourhood trends. Street trends Land and Depreciated Improvement Values Past and recent comparable sales Periodic median and average sale prices Supply and Demand/Listing-Sales ratio Prevailing Interest Rates Seasonality Lot Size and Irregularities Lot grade and landscaping Parking and garage Type and style of property Construction. Square Foot Values Condition inside and outside Renovations and features Mechanical Systems. Deficiencies. Improvements Neighbourhood amenities Curb appeal and Overall presentation Then, in the final analysis, I bring 30 years of hands on, day-to-day practical experience in the Toronto residential real estate market. "Priced too high... the property may sit for months, unnoticed " Sellers sometimes price their property substantially above market value. It is very likely that an overpriced listing may keep potential buyers from seeing your home. Priced too low...you may not see the property's full value In any market the listing price sets an expectation which Buyers use to gauge what they should finally pay.Pricing below market value can be a costly strategy.
