Advice to Buyers and Sellers about Price
One of the hardest things a Buyer and/or Seller have to do is to IGNORE the opinions and advice about Real Estate from people who are not professionals in the market. Ask a Realtor for statistics about the current market and the current market value of properties.The statistics don't lie. Your friends and family can give you opinions about location or design but not about price. Market value is determined by what the current market will bear. In other words, what someone is willing to pay for a property. Last year's prices are not relevant in today's market. You want statistics which are current: In today's market ask for stats for the last three months, or if you are in a volatile market, ask for statistics for the last month.
