South Bay Homes and Real Estate

Avoid the Bidding War and make sure that you are asking the right price for your Rancho Palos Verdes property!

There is more to deciding your home’s selling price than tacking on a few thousand dollars or how much money you still owe on the house’s current mortgage(s).  Here are a few factors that should figure into the market analysis your Rancho Palos Verdes real estate agent will consider when pricing your home.

1.  What are the asking prices for homes in your neighborhood that are similar to yours?  Rancho Palos Verdes real estate varies wildly, but there will be some houses that are similar to yours in size and style. There may be some homes for sale in your current neighborhood that your real estate agent can take into consideration. 

2.  How much work has been done on the property?  If you’ve had extensive work done to the house, your real estate agent will figure in the cost of that work into the selling price. This is done because newer features (updates) cost more than older features-especially if the updates make the house safer for the residents who live in it.

3.  How many amenities are staying in the home after it is sold?  There are some sellers who will take all of their appliances-including their sink and faucet fixtures with them when they move.  For each amenity that you leave behind, the value of your home will increase.  All new appliances and piping could raise the asking price for your home considerably.
