What’s the Home’s True Market Value?
At some point you’ll need to know what the home is actually worth, it’s true fair market value. Zillow and other automated systems are great for getting a general idea, but they can be significantly high or low. For a true market value estimate, that takes a human evaluation. Someone experienced in Real Estate sales, someone who knows the area. Most importantly - Someone who ISN’T also a potential buyer!
What does ‘Fair Market Value’ actually mean? Simply this. If the home were exposed to the most possible potential buyers in an open manner with all buyers having the same opportunity to make an purchase offer, what’s the likely sale price? That’s ‘Fair Market Value’.
