When you’re selling a home in West Hartford, CT, you want to be close to the market average for your area while still getting the most from your investment. Several factors can affect your home’s property value:

Things You Can Control

Upgrades

Giving your house a facelift is sure to attract some attention, but be mindful that the expenses don’t outweigh what you’ll get back.

Age & Condition

New homes need less work and often come with a higher price tag. The older the house, the less likely fixtures and infrastructure are up-to-date.

Space

House prices use a scale of price per square foot, so size does matter. To increase the property value, you might consider increasing the home’s footprint.

Things You Can’t Control

Economics

The local, regional, and national economies affect the real estate market. If you need to list a property for sale, the slower the economy, the harder it is to sell.

Neighborhood Comparables

“Comps” are how your home compares to other recently sold homes in the neighborhood. They are how REALTORS® and appraisers determine your home’s worth.

Location

While your current location may be ideal for you and your family, not all home buyers have identical requirements. Local schools, employment, recreation, and shopping can affect how quickly you can sell your home.
