    When you are committed to selling your home, condo or loft in Toronto, many sellers can soon find themselves in trouble. Time and time again sellers get the wrong impression of the value of their home using inadvisable home value estimation techniques and that could lead to overestimating the price or even letting the buyer walk away with a steal. Getting valued advice from an experienced industry professional is the only way to ensure you are getting the right price and the right advice to increasing your home’s value.

    How are sellers improperly evaluating their home?

    Mistakes in the housing market are quite common and unfortunately can become very costly in terms of both time and money. Here are a few way home sellers are getting wrong ideas of how much their home is worth.

    Online Home Evaluation Calculators

    Nowadays, many people are putting a lot of value into online home evaluation calculators. Unfortunately, the value they are putting into them isn’t coming back in return. While online calculators can give you a rough initial estimate, a realtor with years of experience will be able to see things in your house that won’t be factored into the calculators algorithm. This includes things like the structural integrity of certain areas you may not even be aware of. Many homeowners are unaware of certain issues that could become major hurdles in getting to the final sale of their house. Some sellers can misvalue their house by tens of thousands of dollars when solely relying on these online estimation tools.

    Comparing With Friends and Families

    You may think because your neighbour sold his house for a less than ideal amount that your house may end up selling for less than what you may like. Many sellers will base their ideal price on the sales of one or two friends or acquaintances final sales prices. When you compare to only one or two homes you are missing out on the thousands of sales a professional realtor has seen.

    While some of the previous mistakes aren’t technically disastrous, they can become larger when they become the only factor in which you are basing the value of your home. Make sure you do as much research as possible so you can avoid all of the common home selling mistakes that happen every day.

    While you can get a good idea of what your home is worth by doing a quick comparison, no insight can compare to that of a professional realtor.

    2. Advice to Increasing Value

    In an evaluation, a good realtor will look at many areas of your house that could be improved immediately. Even small and inexpensive changes can go a long way to increasing the sale price immediately. Simple facelifts to the kitchen, removing a carpet in favour of new hardwood and installing a new garden in the front yard could end up increasing the value of your house by the thousands.

    3. Understanding the Structural Integrity of Your House

    How long has it been since your water heater was checked? How old are the pipes of your home? There could be problems in the bones of your house that could drop the price of the house dramatically if not attended to right away. An experienced realtor will be able to pick up on potentially flawed structural elements and provide you with the best advice on repairing any of these potential problems.

    Again, using home value estimation calculators online and comparing what your house is going for on your own aren’t necessarily bad ideas. There is just so much more value in getting your home evaluated by an industry professional.
