What is Your Home Worth for Sale or Refinance In a Softening Market?
Homeowners Utilize Free Home Valuation with No Obligation
September 5, 2006 - Lancaster, PA - Homeowners nationwide now have the ability to learn the value of their home by requesting a home valuation from GetMyHomesValue.com. Increased demand from consumers, wanting to know how much their home is worth, spurred by a softening market and rising interest rates, has led GetMyHomesValue.com to expand services nationwide. GetMyHomesValue.com was previously established in several other major real estate markets, such as California, Texas, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Illinois and Washington DC.
GetMyHomesValue.com provides Internet savvy homeowners with an easy method of finding out the value of their home and finding a professional real estate agent if they don’t already have one. Local real estate professionals connected to the site offer homeowners a customized, cost free report of the current value of their home, without obligation and regardless if the homeowner is interested in selling, refinancing or consolidating debt, now or in the future.
“As the market begins to change, the overall U.S. housing market is achieving a balance between buyer demand and seller supply, somewhat slowing the five-year sales boom, but even though the market is slowing, prices are still continuing to rise although at about half the rate they were previously. For now it remains a sellers market across most markets,” said GetMyHomesValue.com co-founder Mr. Rory Wilfong.
“On average, this means that homes are taking longer to sell. In order for consumers to keep up with the emerging buyers’ market, sellers need to price their home accordingly. Home valuation tools like GetMyHomesValue.com are a valuable resource for consumers interested in learning the true value of their home rather than a simple comparison estimate based on neighborhood sales,” said Wilfong.
“Having a real estate professional who intimately understands the local market actually come out and provide a valuation based on your house, rather than trusting an instant quote online based merely on location and other supposedly comparable sales, is a real value for a seller,” said Wilfong.
“Sellers’ key advantage in this market is pricing. Sellers are getting fewer multiple offers and annual price appreciation has decreased from more than 10% to about 5%. Most sellers are still getting 95-100% of their asking prices. Home valuation tools can be a huge resource to sellers when determining the price of their home. Sellers who obtain current valuation of their home the homeowner can use the valuation information to price their home accordingly aiding in a quick sale of their home,” said Wilfong.
“Every agent or real estate broker subscriber to GetMyHomesValue.com is committed to proving their expertise and commitment to a prospective homeowner, whether the consumer is seeking a valuation for sale, or getting equity out of their home, now or twelve months from now,” said Wilfong.
Consumers anywhere can request a home valuation by logging on to www.getmyhomesvalue.com.
“Although a person may have requested a valuation online, they may still be reluctant to speak to an actual agent in case they are somehow committed to selling or to a particular agent before they are ready.”
“Our aim at GetMyHomesValue.com is to take some of the anxiety out of that relationship and to act like a consumer concierge; bringing consumer and real estate professional together. In a way we’re helping orchestrate what may be a long-term relationship that will benefit both consumer and agent,” said Wilfong. Ultimately however, says Wilfong, “the choice of whether to sell or whether to engage an agent is entirely up to consumers. GetMyHomesValue.com provides an obligation free service.”
