Current
Market

It’s important to determine how much a house is worth before you make an Offer to Purchase.  Don’t let the emotions that come with buying a home harm your bargaining power.  The seller will want to get the highest price.  You will want to get the lowest price.  Competition from other buyers, “well-priced” property, days on market, property listing history, current market status (buyer’s market? seller’s market?), inventory, and adverse influences all play a role in your negotiation process.

A good place to start is with “comps” (comparative market value) that have recently sold.  If you are using a Buyer’s Broker to buy your home, he/she will conduct a property value study in preparation of writing your Offer.  If you are not using a Buyer’s Broker, you will need to do your own homework.  You can take advantage of a number of commercial services or free reports (see Related Links).
