Comparable Sales

Comparable sales are e a useful indicator of value that the Market will support. They help us by providing a historic record of values other comparable properties have sold for recently. From this information we can better predict a realistic range of values that the current market will find appealing. We select Comparable  properties that are similar in the following areas: Market area | Building & Lot size | Age | Architectural Improvements /Finishes . From this data and by giving more weight to those most recent and closely comparable to your property,, we extrapolate a value range and average realistic Sales price and timeline for your property. 

Active Listings

Studying up on the local market and competition gives us a huge advantage in Selling your property for the best terms.. Similar properties for sale and in the area can give us clues to what your property should list for when we Sell. Staying close to the competition also benefits us in beginning to outline the Pros &. Cons the Buyers will be comparing to that could impact the desirability of your asset.

Market & Economic Trends

We look at an overview of supply and demand, detailed statistics and a brief analysis of major transactions and changes in your Market. These economic factors often have an impact on the value of your property by providing clues for best possible timing of a sale and price expectations from the current market. These Market  Reports contain: Market Highlights | Historical Vacancy Rate | Asking Lease Rate Comparisons | Average Asking Lease Rates | Changes in Occupancy | Available Space By Market | Notable Transactions. Supply and Demand in your immediate sub market may play a role in how long your property is on the market, the final price for which it sells, and the type of buyer that “seals the deal”.
