In good times I think people forget that real estate prices are cyclical by nature, imagine if your home price was a stock--then your property price would go up and down hourly. That would cause a lot of fear, or joy, depending on the economy and your particular home value at the end of that day. Good new is that your home price is not changing hourly, but in a slower market it can change monthly. In this market it is very important to keep up with the current data and market trends.
Your neighborhood and local area comps are very crucial to one's home value, but that only tells one side of the story. Real estate is evolving, the way people buy and sell homes is also. Here in IL with political uncertainly, Realtors need to go beyond just the "comps" and price per square foot. For us at the Purcell Group it is important that each home's value is determined on a case by case basis. Location is always important--we break down each home's individual upgrades, paint colors, type of flooring, kitchen and master bath remodeling, Jack-n-Jill baths, finished basement space, size of the popular rooms, such as Kitchen, Family Room, and Master Bedroom, yard size, proximity to town, schools, and proximity to amenities. In today's real estate market all homes are not created equal. The current buyers values particular upgrades, features and accessibility over just size.
As with other investments, it is important to focus on what your house is worth TODAY--not the price you paid for it, or what it was worth 5 years ago, PRICES are always fluctuating. We are trying to guide our sellers away from their past value and help them sell now for the best prices possible. Value in today's real estate market is truly a case by case basis and takes a true expert to help determine that for you!
