Hi Amy, here's an example of a comprehensive market report I did for a client in Edgemont. This is the type of analysis I will do on your property and we'll use it to position it properly on the market. Best regards, Colin
Location, Location, Location.
The 3 L's of Real Estate - Location, Location, Location. No doubt you've heard this saying over the years when real estate was a topic of conversation. It's for good reason, location plays a big role in value. - Location within the city. (proximity to downtown, hospitals, attractions, transit routes) - Location within the community (direction the home faces, backing greenspace, walk-score etc.) - Location relevant to amenities (shops, restaurants, transit, schools, parks, and commuter roads.) As you can see, location is a big factor in establishing a value. This is why we start by mapping your property.
Property Details - A Starting Point
I've used the city records to pull the legal description, past tax assessments, lot size, property size, build date, permit history, and land title history. I've used this information as we haven't had professional measurements completed at this stage which could come in slightly above or below the city records.
Edgemont Market Report
In the attached statistical package, I've pulled all the single family detached home sales across Auburn Bay. This includes smaller, older homes, all the way up to larger upper-scale homes and everything in between. The benchmark pricing of $647,800 is not a reflection of value for your home, it is the benchmark pricing for all homes in Auburn Bay. I use these stats as a guide as we look through the trending data. Most notably we can see the benchmark price trend month over month, and year over year for both Auburn Bay and Calgary as a comparison. We can also see the inventory vs. sales in the current marketplace which gives us a sense of movement in the market. This allows us to get a good picture of what is happening in the micro market when thinking about how to best position your property within it.
Comparative Market Analysis
What's Your Home Worth? Using all the information I've gathered about your property, currently active, pending sales, and comparable sold properties I've determined a list price range, along with a suggested starting list price for your review. To determine the suggested list price I made adjustments to the comparable properties used in this analysis for location, property age, property size, condition, layout, and market conditions during the time a sale took place.
