When you give guests directions to your place, do you describe your home as "the one with the half-dead elm tree and a canoe on the lawn?"

Edmonton Home Seller Advise:

It is extremely important to price your home according to current market conditions. Because the Real Estate Market is continually changing, and market fluctuations have an effect on property values, it's imperative to select your price based on the most recent comparable sales in your neighbourhood. A so-called comparative market analysis provides the background data upon which to base your list-price decision.

When you prepare to sell and are interviewing Real Estate Agents, study each agents comparable sales report (the data should be no more than 12 months old). If all agents agree on a price range for your home, go with the consensus. Watch out for an agent whose opinion of value is considerably higher than others.
