The most difficult task for most sellers is determining the value of what their home is worth. Many different elements can contribute to value including location, size, presentation and market demand. A good starting point is to study the current real estate market facts and figures. Your Harcourts sales consultant will show you comparisons of other similar homes in your area - those which have sold, those which have yet to sell and those which will represent your competition. Quite simply, the current property market and the buyers in it, are what determines the value of your home.
