Get your property value assessed.

What is your home valued at in the Victoria real estate market? The process of assessing the value of your property involves understanding both the market value of your home and the assessed value of your home.
The market value of your home in Victoria is determined by your real estate agent. Your realtor will take into account how much similar properties in your area have sold for in the past, and also how much currently listed and similar homes are listed for. This value is often times higher than the appraised value.
The assessment value of your home is an independent property appraisal performed by BC Assessment. This property appraisal takes into account many factors including the original sale price of the home, the property type and the land improvements made. The property appraisal value of your home is often lower than the market value of your home in Victoria. Not to worry, the majority of homes sell for above their market value in Victoria.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text]

Understand how COVID Effects The Sell Price of Your House in Victoria.
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_single_image image=”58345″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text]We are in the middle of a global crisis (COVID19), and as to be expected from any crisis, it does effect the sale of your home in Victoria BC. So how does COVID 19 effect the sale of your property? We will touch on a few of the most important effects:
- Viewing homes for sale in-person has taken a steep decline. People are still viewing homes, but most home buyers are viewing real estate listings in Victoria using 3D virtual tours before scheduling a time to view the house in-person.
- The property market in Vancouver is expected to decline by up to 7% in 2020. We do not expect to see such drastic decreases in Victoria. In fact, according to VREB, the value of property in Victoria in September 2020 has increased by 3.5% as compared to September 2019. The benchmark value of condos in September 2020 has decreased by 0.4% as compared to the value in September 2019
Since the prediction is for property value to decrease over the next 1-2 years, it may be time to list your property with a realtor sooner rather than later if you are looking to sell your home. This is because the market will take longer to recover than it does to dip in value.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text]

Negotiate the sale of your house.
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_single_image image=”58348″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text]Many realtors believe that the goal of placing your home on the market is to sell your home for the highest possible price. This is not the only factor driving you to sell your home, and we both know that. You may want to sell your home quickly, and have less of a drive to get a little bit more than the listing price. You may be looking to sell the home to someone whom you like and believe will get along with your neighbors, or perhaps your neighbors were a bit of a pain, so you don’t care about that too much. Whatever the goal for selling your home, a great realtor will start by understanding why you want to sell your home, and will develop a negotiation strategy based on that. From there, your realtor should have a long history of negotiation skills. Ask your real estate agent about their negotiating experience, as this is what makes a breaks almost every deal![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text]

Prepare for what happens after your house has been sold.
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_single_image image=”58349″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text]Woohoo, your home has been sold, what now? Not so fast, your home may have been sold with some conditions. Before you get paid, the conditions of the sale of the home need to be met first. Some of these conditions may include a structural assessment or general home inspection. This is why it is important to have your home inspected before listing it on the Victoria MLS. If all is good with the inspection, the buyer may have some other conditions in place. These could include the buying of a home for them to move into, or being able to sell their home first.
