What is the Fair Market Value?

Answer:
Before making the decision to sell a home, it is important
for each homeowner to determine their property’s fair market value. Too often, the asking price for a home is excessive.


As a result, the home doesn’t receive a lot of attention, and it may sit on the market for several months. On the other hand, homeowners who price their properties accordingly receive more offers.

In a nutshell, fair market value is the price at which an owner can sell his or her property. Several factors play a role in fair market value. If you’re working with a real estate agent, they may likely suggest an asking price for the home. They’ll determine the fair market value by evaluating the property, neighborhood, and comparative real estate sales.

Although agents and sellers agree upon an asking price, it is imperative for buyers to conduct their own research and ascertain whether the fair market value is actually fair. Commonly, agents and sellers will exaggerate a property’s worth, and wait for an unsuspecting buyer to overpay.

For this reason, each home buyer should have their own real estate agent present. The agent can research recent sales and make a comparison. If necessary, the buyer’s agent can suggest a lower asking price.
