Do you really know what the value of your home is?

So you’re planning to sell your home, but you’re not sure what it is worth. The best way to find this out is to get a professional appraisal of your house done by an experienced real estate agent. The appraisal will give you an accurate assessment of your property’s current market value so that you can take steps to maximise its appeal and prepare it for sale.

Appraising a property isn’t as straightforward as you might think…

A common mistake with inexperienced agents is to look at properties in the area to try and calculate a selling price for your home purely based on recent sales alone. At Agile Realty Perth, we prefer to take a closer look at some of the finer details.

For example, are you comparing like for like? A three bedroom, two bathroom home on your street may have sold for a certain price and your home is also three by two – but there are many other factors that you should take into consideration.

• Is the age of your property similar?
• How does the size of the outdoor areas compare and is the street appeal similar?
• How is the property’s condition? Has it been recently renovated or is it a fixer-upper?
• Is your home the worst house in the best street or the best house in the worst street?
• How does the size and features of the internal areas compare?
• Was their home constructed to a specification similar to yours?
• And many other factors

At Agile Realty Perth, we take the hassle out of the guessing game – we do the research for you!

We have access to an exclusive database of accurate property sales information and insider knowledge to assist us in determining a guideline of where your property is likely to sell. Our experienced agent, Shari, will be happy to talk you through the selling process and explain how an appraisal price is calculated.
