If you are thinking of selling your home or have already made the decision to do so, at NATIVU we want to advise you in the best way in this process. In addition to the services that our consultants can provide, we also want to give you a few simple steps so that you can determine the value of your home.

 

Search for Sold Properties in the Area

This step is the first because it is always good to get an idea of ​​the prices of houses in the area where you live. This is to have a margin in which you can put your price. When using pages like NATIVU, Find24, and more, it is important that you use search filters. This is because you cannot be guided by the prices of houses that are not similar to yours. This is why when you go shopping, check all the qualities that give value to your home. These are the number of plants, if you have a garden / garage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, swimming pool, etc.
Once you have found the properties sold, you must look at 3 factors: the price at which the property was listed, the days it was on the market, and the price for which it was sold. The importance of this is because the price for which it was initially put on the market is not always the price for which it is sold. And this goes down the longer the property has on the market. So if you are guided by a price range by which the homes were published it would not be a good idea. Because they were actually sold months later for a much lower price, so you’d better be guided by those prices.

Examine your Home

To know how much your house is worth, you need to know what is in it. It is good for you to walk around your house noting all the details that you think add value to you other than those mentioned above. This can be construction details like a skylight or multiple windows. Luxuries such as a walk-in closet, a fountain in the garden, a mini-bar, among others. If you can take pictures of it, that’s a good idea too. These can be useful when you are talking to a consultant or when posting photos of the house. Remember to set up everything properly so that it looks attractive in the photos to sell. Otherwise, if you opt for the help of a real estate agent, he can take care of the whole process to determine the value of your home. And get it sold!

Get Help from a Professional

If you don’t want to go through this process alone and want everything to go as smoothly as possible, then it is of the utmost importance that you get help from a professional. One of why an agent is of great value because an advisor has all the knowledge of prices that you need.
For example, there are online calculators that tell you minus the value of your home. But they do not take into account all the components that can increase the value. If you put a price on it, but didn’t know that the type of material used on your kitchen surfaces can give you more value. This can cost you money. It is for this and many other reasons that it is important that you seek guidance from an advisor.

Selling a property is a huge decision in life, because it not only means that you are going to sell your house, but that you are also moving to another. And it will make a home there. That is why we wish you the best of experiences in this process and adventure!
