E-Neighborhood Reports- Offer Valuable well researched Data For Homeowners!

 Have you ever wondered what your neighbor sold their home for?  Although, we live right next door to our neighbors and may see them everyday, this type of information sometimes feels like an intrusion to ask.  If you get an answer, are you sure it is the truth?  You see, it is amazing how often people round up numbers when telling others how much they really made or sometimes they just plain forget.  Irregardless, if you're counting on this information to provide guidance on the correct value for the sale of your home in a challenging market, this can prove to be an unreliable register of information.

There are website such as www.zillow.com or www.homegain.com which will give you information about homes in your neighborhood.  I know that for at least one of these sites, you have to provide THEM with the addresses of your neighbors’ homes!  I don't know about you, but the prospect of driving or walking slowly around the neighborhood writing down addresses surreptitiously is just not extremely appealing to me.  And then...what if you miss one or what if a home has actually sold, but the Realtor has not gotten around to removing the sign or placing a SOLD sign on the property?  Then, this valuable information which you needed to provide accuracy to your research is not available. 

You can also pay for an appraisal.  This is an excellent source of real estate data about homes in your general area which are most like yours.  A licensed appraiser will use their skill and training to determine with a high degree of accuracy the true market value of your home.  If you have an unusual or extraordinary property, this may be your only option to ensure a correct evaluation.  The cost of an appraisal varies based on the data provided.  Beware of BPO's, drive-by appraisals in which the Lender never enters your home, but simply drives by it and on this basis provides an estimate of your home's value WITHOUT ever entering the premises.

At Audu Real Estate, we provide a Comprehensive Report which combines a Certified Market Analysis with an E-Neighborhood Report to give a very complete body of information on the following:  Houses which sold in your Neighborhood to include mortgage & financing information as well as home details, schools with student to teacher ratios and address/contact numbers, median house values, average home values, average rental rates and types of rentals, average age of the housing in the neighborhood and home ownership rates and much more.  This report is between 15-25 pages and is heads and tails above the average Real Estate estimate of value.  We will tour your home and then meet at our office or at your home to help you intelligently evaluate the data which we present.  You make the decision about how quickly you want your home to sell and you know before you start what odds you're dealing with!

If you're buying a home, you will appreciate our ability to compare up to 4 different communities.  This is a really excellent way to protect the Value of Your Investment in an Over Heated Real Estate Market.  At Audu Real Estate, we know that our Buyers often become our future Sellers.  Over 87% of our Business comes from "word of mouth" advertising....simply stated Referrals!  As a homebuyer wouldn't you feel more comfortable knowing that the home you are buying is as well researched as the information most Realtors provide for "Seller's Eyes Only'?
