NH CMA What's My NH Property Worth |
|
|
 Are you
thinking of selling your NH home, condo or land, or just curious what other
homes and properties in your neighborhood are selling for? In order to
determine the correct asking price for your property, we provide you with a
comprehensive Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) of comparable properties sold
and offered for sale in your neighborhood. The CMA can provide other valuable
market data, such as how long properties are staying on the market; even expired
listings data can be helpful in that it often shows: over-priced listings do
not sell! Today’s NH real estate environment requires an accurate value on your
property.
Of
course, the CMA alone will not be the only factor in determining the asking
price of your property, and we will determine a range of value for your property
The market analysis is meant to be a "snapshot" of current real estate market
conditions in the local area, and can be a useful tool for coming up with a
range of values based on the most current data available. Other factors can
come into play when pricing your property, such as individual seller
motivations, time frame to sell, etc. I will assist you in determining the best
asking price based on your personal goals and motivations.
Market conditions will determine the amount of weight given to current
and competitive properties and those that have already sold or gone
pending.
Its important you obtain a CMA from a full time NH real estate agent
that is knowledgeable about the local market and conditions. Too many
times we see sellers obtaining incorrect information, listing for the
wrong price and missing out on market opportunities.
To
request your free CMA, please fill out and submit the form below. The more
information given, the more accurate the evaluation. Even if you're undecided
about Selling now, or you're just curious about the current market value of your
property, feel free to request this service. There is no obligation to list
your property with me by requesting the CMA. Count on us, your local expert NH Realtors.

NH Home Selling Tips |
|
- Curb Appeal is key!
- A first impression is
important in selling a NH home. Remember that when a prospect comes to
look at your home, the first impression (curb appeal) is vital. Your
front lawn and other landscaping should be neatly trimmed and mowed.
Make certain that your yard is clean of refuse and leaves. The front
walk should be swept and, in winter, remove ice and snow from walk and
steps. The front door must be clean and fresh looking, the doorbell in
working order. Many times a potential buyer will drive past your home
to see the outside before they will make an appointment to see the
inside.
- Decorating for a quicker sale. Faded walls and
worn woodwork will reduce the appeal of your house. Why describe how
your house could look... when you can show how it does look. A minor
investment in paint and wallpaper could pay bigger dividends to you in
the form of a better price and a quicker sale. The homes that sparkle
are the first homes to sell in NH.
- Remove dated wallpaper and trim; stencils can make a home feel dated.
- Let
the sun shine in. Open the drapes and curtains. Clean the windows. Dark
and dreary rooms do not appeal to most home-buying prospects.
- Fix
leaky faucets. Dripping water suggests faulty or worn-out plumbing.
Discolored, rust-stained sinks should be thoroughly cleaned.
- Little
things mean a lot. Loose door knobs or cabinet pulls, sticking doors
and drawers, wobbly hinges, stuck windows- all are negative factors.
Check and repair all these seemingly minor flaws, since they do detract
from the value of your house.
- Keep stair ways and
corridors clear and clean of clutter. In addition to being
unattractive, clutter causes accidents. Think safety.
- Top
to bottom. Let prospects see the potential of your attic, basement,
garage and other utility/storage spaces by removing junk and other
articles. Neatly stack cartons, etc. If the storage spaces are dark, a
coat of paint or extra lighting can do wonders.
- Big
closets--We all love closets and you can make them look even bigger by
having them clean, neat and well organized. Get rid of old clothes and
cartons that take away from the spacious look.
- Bathrooms
sell homes. Make bathrooms sparkle. Clean stained sinks and bowls,
repair any damaged or discolored caulking around bathtubs and showers,
be sure towels and area rugs are bright, make certain all light
fixtures and bulbs work.
- Wake up your bedrooms. Keep
bedrooms bright. After the prospects are gone you can close the drapes.
Remove excess furniture to avoid a crowded look, use attractive and
colorful bed linens and spreads.
- Can you see the light?
Illumination in your home can be the "welcome sign" for every prospect.
Turn on all of the exterior and interior lights--including the accent
and picture lights--when your home is shown at night.
- Rent
a storage container and remove furniture and personal belongings so the
property feels spacious and buyers can picture their furniture in the
space.
- Avoid crowds. Potential buyers will feel like
intruders and want to hurry through your house if there are too many
people around. Send the kids over to a neighbor's or take them to the
ice cream store when the real estate agent shows the home. It is best
if you leave the premises so the agent and buyer will spend as long as
they like looking at your home. The longer they stay, the better the
chances of a sale.
- Silence is golden. When showing your
house, turn down, or off, radios or television sets. Let the
salesperson and buyers talk freely without having the noise of a radio.
- Put the pets out. Keep all pets out of the way and not underfoot.
- This
is not a social call. Be courteous and friendly, but don't try to force
conversation with potential buyers. They are there to inspect your
house. Let the sales person do the talking.
- Stay in the
background. The salesperson knows what the buyers are looking for, and
can best describe and emphasize the best features of your house. Don't
tag along. If there are any questions; the salesperson will ask you for
information. A buyer will stay in your home longer, if they feel
comfortable and not pressured. LEAVE, the longer the buyer stays, the
higher the change of a strong showing and continued interest in the NH
property.
- Be it ever so humble there's no place like home.
Don't apologize for the appearance of the house. If something out of
the ordinary should happen to mess-up the appearance, inform the
salesperson when you are first called for the showing. Should any
negative comments or objections be offered, let the trained salesperson
answer them.
- This is not a garage sale. Don't try to sell
the potential buyers any of the furniture or furnishings that you don't
want to take with you. These are details that can be discussed
afterwards.
- Let a professional do it. Let the salespeople
talk to the customer about selling price, terms, possession date and
other factors.
- By appointment only. Only show your home through an appointment.
- Never let someone in without an appointment, its dangerous. List your home with a NH Realtor who will log in all showings.
