So we built new and added almost 200 sq ft, and paid $120k for a beautiful waterfront lot in the same community.<br/>Yet, the original, smaller home that has a back yard that has neighbors behind it has a Zestimate of $567K and our newer, larger home that backs to nature and a pond has a Zestimate of $479K.&nbsp; In addition we have numerous upgrades that were not on the builders original house. Even smaller houses with tiny lots are assessed in the 500 to 600K range. Somehow there's a mistake in our listing. How do we get it fixed?

Seller...Buyer...Transitional&nbsp; Market a good house will always sell. <br/><br/>It is important to understand part of the process...Pricing....Condition ...and Location &nbsp; <br/><br/>Pricing.. Make sure that your home is competitivly priced. A Buyer going out and looking at homew within a certain price range will look at your home then all the others on the list of homes...so that buyer is already doing a comparitive market analysis of homes in a certain price point. This one has granite the other did not ... the buyer is the one that will ultimatly determine the price of the home by comperable homes. <br/>Take a peak at your competition . Know what you are up agains and make yours better. <br/><br/>CONDITION:<br/>Nobody wants to buy a messy home it makes them think that there is more work to be done. Take the time to get you home in "Show" condition, it may be the easiest way to beat your competition.<br/><br/>LOCATION:<br/>if you house has some quirky location backs to a busy road, or to the rail road tracks...price it accordingly . Think back to when you bought your home... there will be another buyer just like you that does not mind being in a "quirky" location just be patient and most of all PRICE IT RIGHT!<br/><br/>More info or help call&nbsp; or e-mail<br/>Claudia Stadtlander<br/>919.413.0825<br/>ClaudiaSells@KW.com<br/>The <strong>R</strong>eal <strong>E</strong>state <strong>D</strong>ream Team<br \><br \>1 reply Mon, 24 Aug 2009 23:05:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Selling-Process/271577/ 2009-08-24T23:05:00Z
