Need a free property valuation?

property valuation

If you are selling your home you may need to get started with a free valuation of a property.  But what exactly is a CMA?  Well when you meet with an estate agent, they will use a method called CMA or comparative market analysis to value your property.

Comparative market analysis or CMA

A CMA is a method that determines the accurate market values by comparing other similar properties that have recently sold in your area.  Your estate agent will refer to this as ‘comparables’ and would take some of the following into account:

  • Considering what other houses, similar in size to yours, have sold for in the last six months.
  • This will provide an average price per square meter for the homes in your area that have sold within the last 6 months.

Solid base price?

The CMA effectively provides your estate agent with a solid price base that is used to determine a reasonable asking price for your property. There are also other factors that will affect the valuation which you need to consider, such as:

  • Demand for property in your area.
  • The condition of your property. Has your property been well maintained?
  • Size of your stand and the size of your home.  A key output here is to understand the cost per square meter.
  • The elevation of your property (does it have a view, does it have a nice garden to look out onto?
  • How old is your home? Has the kitchen been modernised? Remember kitchens can sell a home.  How modern is your bathroom because bathrooms impress.
  • How secure is your area?  More specifically how secure is your home?
  • Have you made some modern, cosmetic changes such as modern flooring? Perhaps you have added a fireplace?  Or you may have revamped your light fittings?  Have you invested in a fresh coat of paint recently? We cover a range of articles to help you make the most of each room in your house.  We cover the general benefits of home staging, luxurious master bedrooms, and making the most of creating a trendy small home office.
  • A big factor to consider is also all the properties currently on the market.  We compare like with like in other words.

Why all the fuss with a CMA?

Because the price you list your property for is crucial.  When potential buyers come to view your property, they will be shopping with their eyes, their ears, and their hearts.  If your home has recently been updated, they will see it.  If your home is neat, clean, and has been well maintained, then the commercial appeal of your home will appeal to a much wider audience.  So, all the fuss could very well help you command a higher asking price.  A free property valuation will do the trick and provide you with an accurate market-related price when you sell.

Also, the factors we discussed above will also be taken into consideration, such as:

  • The general condition of your property.
  • Its size.
  • The special viewpoints (what made you fall in love with your property)?
  • The size and condition of your garden.
  • How modern are the bathrooms and kitchen?
  • What security features should be considered?
  • Have you undertaken any renovations such as flooring, adding a fireplace, etc?
  • What upgrades have you made to your property to realise its full potential value?
