Selling Highlands NC Real Estate and Appraisals Go Hand in Hand

Selling Highlands NC Real Estate and Appraisals Go Hand in Hand

Meadows Mountain Realty, Highlands NC real estate

Selling Highlands NC real estate and appraisals go hand in hand. It is true that a seller can list a home at whatever price he sees fit.  However, an appraisal can throw off the sale of a home that is priced too high.  Pricing your Highlands NC home for sale is a big part of the selling process.

Your Highlands NC REALTOR will be instrumental in helping you price your home in a range that is acceptable for the market.  This will be done by a comparative market analysis, CMA, which takes into consideration your home, its location, and homes that have sold and are bing sold nearby.  This CMA will deliver a suggested price for your home.  As the seller the list price is completely up to you.

Why list a home at market value?

If you don’t list your home at a reasonable price your sale might hit a snag when the appraisal is completed.  An appraiser will be hired as part of the loan process and the appraised value matters for the loan.  When the appraisal comes in lower than the contracted price a buyer has an opportunity to walk away.  The only time an appraisal may not occur is for an all-cash offer.
