For Sale By Owner
Starting in August 2014, California homes sales declined by 13.5%. So, the bloom might be off the California Real Estate. And if your home is not selling you Los Gatos home by yourself you might be in for an interesting ride.
In fact, the number of homes sold in August 2014 declined to 34,269 homes. We are spotting some Los Gatos homes which are not selling. The home located at the corner of Englewood and Kennedy Road was listed for $2.8M dollars. This listing was cancelled after 97 days on the market with no offers.
But all things being equal, if your Log Gatos home is not selling, you need to consider the most recent sales in your 1 mile radius that closed in the last 30 days. In fact, using comps that are 60 days out might give you false results and hope. You should only consider Sold Comps that are within 300 square feet in size. The age difference between your home and these sold comps should be 5 years.
However, the most reliable way to find your home’s value it to work with a local Realtor who can develop Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) on your home. Your CMA will include qualified sold comps. But the neat part of CMA is that the sold prices can be adjusted for:
- Size
- Age
- Lot Size
- Amenities
You could use sites like Zillow, Trulia or Redfin to find sold homes in your zip code. But these sites will not allow you to adjust the prices as you could do with a CMA..
