What Is A Market Value Of A Home Or Condo?
You spent 75000 on renovating your home but it did not fetch you the money you thought it would when you sold it. The pool you built for 50000 may only add 20000 more to the sale price of your home. Sounds appalling doesn’t it? Yes the dynamics of the market value of a home are a little more complex than you thought you understood.
It’s no surprise that the market value of a home is often a misunderstood concept. This happens especially when a home is evaluated by someone who is emotionally attached to it. The value they attach to their home largely influences their perception of its market value. In reality the market value of a home is the value that the real estate market gives it. So a home is only worth how much it is valued at that point of time in the real estate market. Given these facts it would be prudent to check for latest home design trends with a good real estate professional before going in for any modifications or renovations for your home.
A real estate agent can evaluate the market value of your home if you want to ascertain its present market value. A real estate agent gives you a CMA which is a comparative market analysis of the house. He/she does so by taking into consideration not only the various features of your house that includes the additions and home improvements you have made to your home but also the asking price of homes that are currently listed in your neighborhood. Thus the market value of a home is not just broadly based on your perceived value of the home as such but on the current market prices of similar homes.
Also as a home seller do not make the error of listing your home for too much. This would almost certainly backfire forcing you to finally settle down for a much lower price than what your home is really worth.
So your home is worth what the real estate market says it is. No matter how hard it would seem for you remember that the same principle holds good when you purchase a home too and works to your advantage.
Seek the expert advice of a good real estate professional to have a good idea about what factors go into determining a market value of a home. Often these come in handy when you purchase a home or decide to spruce it up for sale.

Title Searches: An Absolute Must If You Are Considering Purchasing Real Estate
A title search is an absolute necessity if you are going to purchase real estate. Without one there is no way that you can be certain that the seller even owns the property he is selling to you so if you “purchase” the property and move in you might be thrown out years later by the real owner of the real estate. In case you think that’s unlikely consider that many people buy real estate as an investment even though they may live far away. The owner might lease the real estate to someone else trusting him to maintain the property. If the lessee is unscrupulous he may attempt to “sell” the property pocket the money and move to Tahiti or somewhere leaving you holding the bag when the owner gets back and asks who the heck you are. Yeah of course you could sue the person who sold you the real estate but what if you can’t find him? Or what if he spent all the money?
Title searches are usually done by lawyers. If you are borrowing money from a bank to finance the purchase then the bank will certainly have its lawyer do a title search. You should have your lawyer do one too. Even though the title search will likely be done by a lawyer you should definitely become familiar with what’s going on don’t just “leave it to the lawyers”. If you have a general idea about what’s going on you’ll be able to have an intelligent conversation with your lawyer and you’ll be more likely to know early if there’s any malpractice going on. You’ll also have a better idea about how competent your lawyer really is not all of them are smart!
Your title search should also cover any mortgages liens or other encumbrances that may have been put on the real estate you are considering purchasing it would be a shame to purchase a home and then have the bank foreclose on it because the previous owner mortgaged it and didn’t pay it off.
