Santa Cruz CA: Top Realtor® Sandy Wallace recently talked about determining the value of a Santa Cruz CA Oceanview home. In an article she wrote earlier this month, Sandy shed light on the importance of knowing the right listing price of a property and how several factors come into play when determining its value.
Sandy has been in the real estate business for more than two decades now. Since she started her career, she has helped hundreds of homeowners sell their homes in Santa Cruz CA fast and for top dollar. As a seasoned Realtor®, she knows that one of the things that determine how long a listed property stays on the market is its value. “Your home’s price will determine if the house will sell fast or not, so pricing it right is the key,” she said.
On her blog, Sandy advised home sellers to find the “sweet spot between not too low nor too high” when pricing their properties, as this usually results in a much faster transaction. Describing home pricing as “part art, part science,” she said finding the value of a property requires research, math, and the right tools. She also explained the different factors that determine the worth of a home, including comparables, view and location, size, home age and general condition, updates and improvements, and market conditions.
Discussing “comparables” or “comps,” Sandy said home sellers should take into account the prices of recently sold homes in the neighborhood when pricing their properties. By considering the prices of homes with the same size, style and general condition as theirs, homesellers can tell how much buyers are willing to pay for their properties.
Sandy also emphasized the importance of location in determining the value of a home, saying that how near or far a property is to quality schools, shopping and entertainment centers can either decrease or increase its value. Talking about views, she added, “Views are hard to quantify, but the better your vantage point and the less obstruction, the higher the value.”
