Everything you need to know before selling your property. Practical guide and key questions for an informed real estate transaction.

What is the value of my property?

This is the very first question that sellers ask themselves.

It is crucial to estimate the price of your property with great accuracy.

⬆️ If your price is too high, you will have a much harder time selling and it will stay on the market for too long.

⬇️ If your price is too low, you risk losing a lot of money.

First of all, it is important to put the characteristics of your home into perspective, in a neutral and objective way. Make a list of the main elements that influence the market value of your house :

  • The location
  • The type of property
  • The living area
  • The lot size
  • The condition of the property
  • The quality of its construction
  • The amenities

Then, analyze similar properties currently for sale. However, relying on houses for sale is a risky tactic. These properties have not yet found a buyer and their final sale price may differ from the one displayed.

This is all the importance of choosing a good broker.

With his valuation tools, comparable properties and experience, he can determine the right price.

  • The supply and demand of similar properties
  • Your finances

However, the ideal time does not exist. There are transactions in the real estate market throughout the year. If you are ready, you should not wait for a particular time of year.
