Are you considering selling your Troon home? In order to get the most for your home, you should understand how comparable sales can help you set the perfect price.
Comparable sales involve knowing the prices of other homes that are similar to yours. If you know what similar homes have recently sold for then you will have a better idea of the value of your Troon home.
The key to finding a good comparable sale is locating a home that just closed escrow and is the most similar to yours. Ideally, this would be a home within the same community that is the same model as your Troon home. However, such a home can be hard to come by. If this is the case, you can use the following factors to find a comparable sale:
Location. You will want to find a Troon home that is as close to yours as possible. A good comparable sale will be one located in your community, subdivision and school district. It also helps to find a home located on the same type of street.
Home Type. Find similar home styles that are close to the same size as yours. You’ll also want the home to have similar construction material, the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms and the same sized yard (or close to it). Another thing to consider is whether or not the home has a basement.
Features and Upgrades. Pay attention to the features of the home and whether it has any upgrades. New kitchen? Swimming pool or deck? If the comparable sale home is in a different community, make sure it has the same amenities available, such as a community swimming pool, tennis courts, fitness center or even a golf course.
Date of sale. Try to find a home that was sold fairly recently. Many homebuyers use government guaranteed mortgages, which state that comparable sales must be within 90 days old.
Deal sweeteners. Don’t forget to account for any deal sweeteners when considering the price of a comparable sale. If the sellers offered downpayment assistance or even included furniture, you will have to lower the value of the comparable sale home accordingly.
As always, finding the right price for your Troon home, requires an experienced Troon Scottsdale Realtor such as myself, who knows all about Troon. The right realtor will have already been inside homes in your community and can give you details about comparable sales.
