What does this mean for you?

The average price per square foot for homes sold during the month of December - $95. This is a good starting place for homeowners to calculate the current value of their home however keep in mind different variables such as views, upgrades, location, etc. will impact the price of your home. Contact an experienced agent (me) for realistic pricing.

Mission Ranch Sellers pricing continues to be critical in creating a winning strategy. A seller needs to be ahead of the market,meaning pricing should be slightly lower than current market value to generate multiple offers on a well maintained home. Many sellers think pricing high initially and reducing the price later may net more money. This is a mistake, rember the longer a house sits on the market it will become a stale listing. The best offers are usually generated during the first 30 days.

Mission Ranch Buyers seeking newer homes, with square footage and larger than average lots, should visit this community. The highly rated school district is often a draw for families, while the various floorplans with optional choices - bonus rooms, extended master retreats, guest suites - offer buyers a great range of living possibilities.
