Market Analysis ExplanationThis is an explanation and overview of this market analysis.

This Comparative Market Analysis will help to determine the correct selling price of your home. Ultimately, the correct selling price is the highest possible price the market will bear.

This market analysis is divided into two categories:

1. Comparable homes that are currently for sale2. Comparable homes that were recently sold

Looking at similar homes that are currently offered for sale, we can assess the alternatives that a serious buyer has from which to choose. We can also be sure that we are not under pricing your home.

Looking at similar homes that were sold in the past few months, we can see a clear picture of how the market has valued homes that are comparable to yours. Banks and other lending institutions also analyze these sales to determine how much they can lend to qualified buyers.

This Comparative Market Analysis has been carefully prepared for you, analyzing homes similar to yours. The aim of this market analysis is to achieve the maximum selling price for your home, while being able to sell your home within a relatively short period of time.

My #1 Goal is to earn your right to be your REALTOR!!


I intend to sell your home for

the maximum price in the

minimum amount of time.

To a certain extent, achieving that goal is a

numbers game. We need to create a richly

detailed, spectacular listing for your home,

and then we need to put it in front of as

many potential buyers as we possibly can.

Did you know that, as of 2013, nine out of

every ten home buyers used the web to

find their new home? This year the

percentage is predicted to increase

even further.

The number of buyers who use the internet

to find their next home is increasing daily.

The traffic to online real estate market-

places is skyrocketing. The power of the

web is growing. And I have been able to

successfully establish myself online so

that I am able to tap in to this steady

stream of real estate shoppers.

Your Listing Will Never Go Unnoticed

Over time, buyers' useof the Internet to

search for homes hasincreased, rising from71% in 2003 to 92% in

2013. Even moreimportantly, 45% ofhome buyers used a

mobile or tablet websiteor application to search

for a home.

The web is now by far the most important advertising medium for real

estate, and that’s becoming truer every day. Fortunately, I’ve

managed to stay ahead of this trend, and have been continuously

working to increase my web presence so that I can push listings to

more places very quickly, putting properties in front of online buyers

very effectively.

I subscribe to Point2 Agent, a web service that connects real estate professionals with one

another and with the most important real estate advertisers on the web. This service allows me to

advertise your listing on my website, on many other local real estate websites, and on over 50 of

the busiest online real estate marketplaces including Trulia, Oodle, Yahoo!, Zillow and many

more.

Thanks to this listing service, and to my numerous contacts, you will see that I belong to a

powerful online network that can make a substantial difference in the exposure your property

receives.

Your Listing Advertised Everywhere

Your Listing’s Own Website

In addition to my company

website, and countless real

estate websites across North

America, your listing can

receive its very own website

and unique domain name

(www.YourHouse.com), that

includes high-resolution

photos, detailed property

Information, and helpful tools

for potential home buyers.

Multiple Search Platforms

Not only will I help your listing

attract attention via “natural

search” sites like Google,

Yahoo! and MSN, I will also

estate-specific search sites

such as Point2 Homes, Oodle,

Trulia and Zillow. In all, I have

access to over 50 distinct

listing marketplaces where

your listing can be displayed.

Better Information

I add as many high-quality

photographs and as much

richly detailed information to

will have a significantly better

chance of attracting more

buyers. In fact, 85% of home-

buyers value pictures as the

most important feature of a

listing advertisement .

Better Listings

What’s the big deal? Well, it’s simple – many independent studies show that better listings with

more photos attract more visitors, they keep buyers looking at your home longer, and they

generate more quality buyer leads.

More Photos

I understand the power of quality photographs, and will include as many photos as possible to

help attract attention to your listing.

More Information

Buyers want information. That’s only natural – they’re trying to make an informed decision about a

major purchase. So instead of withholding information about your property, I deliver as much

information as possible. Not only does this make your listing easier to find online, and help

ensure that inquiries about your property are serious ones... it can also attract more attention from

the buyers who find it.

More Personality

No one knows your home better than you do. That’s why, if you’re interested, I am able to set up a

special area of your listing where you can add your own comments. You can even login via your

own password and access statistics on the visitors your listing is attracting.

More Power

My listings always include Google mapping with satellite imagery, virtual tours, and many other

features to showcase your property at the highest level of professionalism and technological

elegance.

More Information to Attract Buyers

Today’s buyers expect lightning-fast responses to their emails and

inquiries, they expect regular updates, and they expect an

impressive, feature-rich website. Not only is my website designed to

attract and engage today’s buyers, it also includes numerous behind-

the-scenes software elements that will help me to sell your home.

My networkMy network is set up to enable buyers to

register their preferences and receive listings

via email. That means that I may already have

dozens of waiting buyers who are looking for

the type of property you are offering. As soon

as I have completed work on your listing, it will

be instantly emailed to these matched buyers.

My softwareMy software automatically places potential

buyers in a communication program so that I

am sure to maintain friendly contact with them,

encouraging more repeat visits to my website

and more repeat viewings of your listing.

My websiteMy website has the ability to send a

notification directly to my cell phone as a text

message if a prospect is interested in your

property and inquiring about it. This means that

I am able to respond with incredible speed to

important potential buyers.

My advantageMy advantage is in the technological tools I

use to present your property as effectively as

possible, and to have it discovered by as many

potential buyers as possible. In modern

markets, having a technological edge can

make a dramatic impact. I have that edge, and

I am looking forward to using it to your

advantage.

The Importance of PricingThis chart highlights the importance of pricing correctly at market value.

This graph illustrates the importance of pricing correctly. The centerline represents market value. As you move above this market value, you attract much smaller percentage of prospective buyers, greatly reducing your chances of a sale. Conversely, as you move below market value, you attract a much larger percentage of potential buyers.

Activity vs. TimingThis chart highlights the importance of pricing correctly at market value.

This chart illustrates the level of excitement and interest in a new listing over time. It

also demonstrates the importance of pricing correctly. When a property is first listed,

it generates a very high level of interest from prospective buyers, which reduces

dramatically over time. It is important to be priced correctly from the beginning,

during the peak of this curve.

The Effect of Over PricingThis chart highlights the importance of pricing correctly at market value.

This is the average percentage difference between the Selling and Asking Price by the length of time the home was on the market.

- Put your best foot forward immediately- Establish a competitive asking price- Keep your home in top showing condition- Offer favorable financing terms

Setting the PriceThis chart highlights the importance of pricing correctly at market value.

When setting a price for your property, the listing

level must strike a balance between the seller’s need

to achieve the best-possible return and the buyer’s

need to get good value. With many years of

experience, a professional Real Estate Agent can help

you set a price that will accomplish both objectives.

Establishing market value

The market value of your property is determined in

exactly the same way as any other commodity – what

a buyer is willing to pay for it in today’s market.

Despite the price you paid originally, or the value of

any improvements you may have made, the value is

determined by market forces.

Look at the competition

Buyers look at about a dozen properties on average

before making an offer on a property. As a result, they

have a good overview of the market and will compare

your property against the competition. If it’s not in

line with similar properties that are available, buyers

won’t consider it good value for money.

The Pitfalls of OverpricingThis chart highlights the importance of pricing correctly at market value.

Overpricing your house in

the belief that you can

reduce the price back later

is a strategy that can

backfire badly. For

example, by the time you

reduce your price, you may

miss out on a surge of

interest in properties like

yours. Also, if prices are

lowered, buyers may

wonder if there’s

something wrong with the

property that kept other

buyers away. So to keep

from selling your property

at below market value and

from wasting valuable

time, don’t fall into the

overpricing trap.
