SELLING ESSENTIALS
In our experience, there are four factors essential to a successful homes sale:
PRICING YOUR HOME
A note about pricing misconceptions: A CMA is simply an estimate. It’s based on a modeled formula that accounts for multiple variables that range from market conditions and home facts to buyer interest. CMAs should be considered in the big picture and are a great starting point for agents.
There are over 1.7 billion websites globally, and over 200 million in the U.S. alone. Buyers are likely to check the Zillow “Zestimate” when they start their online home search. In fact, Zillow ranks in the top 24 most visited U.S. sites with each visitor spending an average of 7 minutes on average. While Zestimates are widely used, it's important to note that they have a median error rate of 2.53% in the Boston area.
