Don’t Overpay…Price Vs. Value Driven

Price Driven Approach -When we start the process for your Price Driven Approach we start with the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). This is a vague report based on other homes in the area, your neighborhood based on square footage, finished basement, and garage size. This report will include Sold, Expired, Pending, and Active. We also request a report from RPR (Realtor Property Resource) which includes homes sold in the MLS and homes sold privately. This report relies on the data from your neighborhood and surrounding area. It will use algorithm analytics to determine the Price Range.

Lastly, we look at the Value-Driven Approach

Next, we need to filter what an appraiser’s opinion could be about value. Part of their mathematical modeling is a condition rating system. Depending on the condition and improvements will move the value up or down. The appraiser will review updates, features, and quality of materials used to determine Fair Market Value. Make sure you select a Realtor that knows how to use this approach. For Details 👇👇👇

What Is Your Buying Negotiation Strategies?

Gosh! Working through the negotiation strategies sometimes feels like you’re in a dual between logic vs chaos as you work through the process. The struggle between facts and emotions is frustrating if you don’t have a plan. Creating the Purchase Agreement is only the 1st step in the negotiating process. Once all parties sign the agreement, there are a few more steps that may come into play. There is a possibility you may have to work through negotiations when it comes to the home inspection and appraisal.

Now that your found your perfect home, what’s next?

Hopefully, you have worked through all your negotiations with your lender and are pre-approved. This should be step #1 before you even schedule appointments to view homes. After you find the perfect home you need to work through Price and Terms. Some terms could be; when do you close, how long after closing do you give the seller possession, how much per day in rent, to name a few. Next is the Inspection and negotiate any issues slowly and methodically. Okay, now we get the Lender involved and order the appraisal. What if something goes wrong along the way?

We’ve reviewed the Price and Value of the property before we put in an offer. If we think we may have an issue because the house is on the market higher than we think the appraisal will be, we negotiate that upfront and share our report with the agent with the offer. This also would be discussed with the Seller in advance. We would have a plan in place in advance if the appraisal came in lower than your offer. If a Seller has no interest in lowering the price to Appraised Value, we would have that discussion and a plan before we even moved forward with the inspection. Some Sellers will sell only if they get X and sometimes X just isn’t there. It will be up to you if you pay over the appraised value…that will take cash above the asking price.
