Vancouver Home Evaluation : How We Price Homes

As leading Vancouver Realtors, we frequently receive requests for home evaluations from clients considering the sale of their homes. The home evaluation process for residential real estate properties in Vancouver revolves around a method known as a Comparative Market Analysis, or CMA for short. Ensuring an accurate assessment of the home’s value and positioning the home seller effectively in the marketplace are very important to a successful sale.

Vancouver Property Assessment

How much is your Vancouver home worth in this market?

Our assessment tool is a powerful tool that can help you accurately determine the value of your property, based on a variety of factors such as location, condition, and recent sales in your area.

Home Evaluation: Methodology

A Comparative Market Analysis, also known as CMA is a method used in the real estate industry to determine the value of a property by comparing it to similar properties that have recently been sold, it is the preferred method in residential real estate to determine home evaluation. The goal of a CMA is to provide an estimated market value for a property based on the current real estate market conditions and the characteristics of comparable properties.

As Realtors, these are the steps we follow when producing a Comparative Market Analysis:

Discovery: We first gather information about the home, including size, features, condition, location, sale history and tax assessed value.
Recent Sales Data: We review recent sale prices of comparable properties. This helps establish a baseline for the potential value of the subject property known as the price band, the range the true value is likely to be fall into.
Adjustments: We take into account the differences between the subject property and the comparable sales.
Market Conditions: The current state of the real estate market is considered. Factors such as supply and demand, interest rates, and economic conditions can influence property values, specifically the home evaluation of your home.

The Importance of Accurate Home Pricing

Vancouver home sellers underestimate the critical significance of establishing an accurate listing price for their properties. When a property is listed, it promptly captures the interest of potential home buyers who are actively seeking their ideal homes. These prospective buyers diligently evaluate the entire spectrum of available homes within a given area, and they possess a keen ability to discern values and gauge appropriate pricing. Houses & condos that are priced beyond the scope of comparable properties often serve as benchmarks, influencing the evaluation and potential enhancement of values for other homes.

To secure a strong competitive position in the market, it is imperative to determine and present a home evaluation that aligns both accurately and competitively. This strategic approach is pivotal in attracting the precise demographic of buyers who recognize the inherent value your home offers. By accurately determine your property’s price with the current market landscape, you are more likely to attract prospective buyers more effectively, optimizing the likelihood of a successful sale of your home. Home seller’s decision of the home price will contribute to a more efficient and effective selling experience, elevating your property’s appeal and desirability within the market.

Drawbacks of Overpricing Homes

Overpriced homes frequently fail to generate the desired level of interest and timely offers within the standard selling duration expected in the Vancouver real estate landscape.

When preparing for the sale of your Vancouver home, the awareness of comparable houses, townhouses, and condos concurrently listed becomes imperative. If your home list price is higher than the market benchmark , potential buyers may employ it as a benchmark for assessing the overvaluation of a particular listing, thereby rationalizing a more favorable home purchase in an alternative property.

By accurately pricing your home, you position it strategically within the market. This pricing approach not only enhances your property’s appeal to prospective buyers but also safeguards against inadvertently contributing to the negotiation leverage of other sales.

Customer Reviews

What our clients have to say!

I have worked with Jacob and Jacky over the span of 5 years, buying and selling 2 properties. I have always found them to be incredibly respectful and professional.

Most recently, I sold a property in Vancouver while living in another province. They handled everything for me: negotiating with my tenant, staging, liaising with strata, recommending a lawyer, and marketing and advertising my property to show it off beautifully. They dealt with every detail, allowing me to trust them implicitly.

They are truly unflappable. Their expertise and years in the business has given them the edge they need to show and sell a property to its highest potential. I would never use anyone else!

Jacob really made us feel like we were his only client. He was always available to answer our questions and accommodate our schedule. We bought our duplex and sold our condo back to back. This situation can be very stressful but Jacob was there to reassure us and quickly find us a buyer with a great offer.

He really went above and beyond even after we bought our duplex, even helping us deal with the developer to fix any deficiencies left.

I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone that is looking to buy or sell real estate in Vancouver!

Jacky and Jacob made the selling and buying process as stress free as possible. They were professional and thorough as they walked me through every step of the process including providing valuable insight on getting my house ready for sale.

They were available and easily accessible to answer all my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend this team for buying or selling your home.

We worked with Jacob and Jacky over the last couple of months on our house purchase, and we have nothing but positive things to say about the whole experience. They were responsive and professional, and guided us well through the whole process.

We really appreciated their expertise and will definitely work with them again in the future.
