What determines market value?

Many sellers don't understand that value comes from outside the house. The bricks and mortar are not what makes value. Value is in the eye of the buyer. The key to value goes say beyond the old real estate maxim: Location, location, location.

Market value is also tied to such trends as:
  • Economic conditions that reflect both national and community business conditions.
  • National, state and/or local political activity that produces changes in taxes, sales regulations, zoning restrictions or reassessments or property.
  • Pressures of supply and demand that create either a buyer's market when there are more sellers than buyers and house prices drop, or a seller's market when there are more buyers than sellers, causing house prices to go up.
  • Seasonal influences create a buying season and an off-season although this traditional trend has given way to more year-round selling.
