Deciding on a price for your luxury home

The most important part of selling your luxury condominium or luxury home is ensuring you get the best value for it. Here are some ways Jean-Luc Andriot suggests you can make this possible.

Look at the comps (comparables)

Comparative market analysis reports, or comps, are lists of recently sold homes in your neighborhood that aim to give you a better idea of where to set your price. The first step in determining a price is learning what your home’s fair market value is, and this system provides that data.

• Select comps as close to your home as possible. Compare your home to others in your development that were developed in the same style at around the same time

“Be careful that you choose wisely in the projects you undertake when your goal is to maximize your selling price,” he says. “There are specific things that need to be done to impress qualified buyers. A member of our team will be happy to guide you on what improvements we think will bring you the

The home inspection process:

Of the many ways you need to get your home ready for sale, home inspection should be near the top of your checklist. According to the American Society of Home Inspectors, an inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house from the roof to the foundation.

“From what I’ve seen, the primary concern of buyers is worrying about problems they haven’t seen that could cost them money down the road,” Jean-Luc Andriot says

In order to ease their concerns, buyers will therefore cover the cost of the inspection and the payment for the repairs
