A comparative market analysis is an informal estimate of market value performed by a real estate agent or broker after viewing the subject property . Many agents offer a free analysis or property profile as part of the process of helping a potential client sell their home. People also can attempt to do their own cost comparison using public records maintained by their county recorders' and assessors' offices. You should be aware that without having seen recent comparable sold homes you will be guesstimating your property's value. In addition to supply and demand, and other economic factors, the time of year you choose to sell can make a difference both in the amount of time it takes you to sell your home and in the ultimate selling price.
Weather conditions are less of a consideration in some states than in other parts of the country.
But generally the real estate market picks up as early as February, with the strongest selling season usually lasting through May and June. With the onset of summer, the market slows. July is often the slowest month for real estate sales due to a strong spring market putting possible upward pressure on interest rates. Also, many prospective home buyers take vacations during mid-summer. Making your home look as nice as possible may seem obvious.
