Which homes belong in the comparison?
I’ll explain why a sale is relevant, what differs, and what buyers can choose instead today.
A closer look at your value
Your neighbour sold.
What would yours sell for?
It is the obvious comparison. Then you remember their finished basement, your deeper garden, and the kitchen neither of you has touched. Which differences would a buyer pay for?
What sits behind the number
The closest house is not always
the closest comparison.
Two homes can share a street and attract different buyers. A useful evaluation looks at the layout, condition, lot and location, then checks those details against relevant sales and the homes available now.
I want to walk through yours. The online record may have missed a renovation, an awkward room, or a view that changes how the property feels. Those details need to be understood before they can be weighed.
What we will discuss
A range you can
ask questions about.
Where does your home fit?
We discuss a reasoned range, the assumptions behind it and the features that deserve closer attention.
What would that mean for your move?
Your expected sale proceeds and an asking price answer different questions. We keep both in view.
Before we meet
You can leave
the house as it is.
There is no need to stage the living room for an evaluation. A list of improvements, anything you know about the property’s condition, and your rough timing are more useful.
An evaluation is an informed opinion of market value, not a formal appraisal or a promise of a sale price. If you need a valuation for lending or a legal matter, ask the relevant professional what kind of report is required.
