How are property list prices and what property sells for are related? It would seem they are the same or be very close. That is not the case in today's market  I have included a chart of property list prices as opposed to closed sale prices. This chart is for Victorville CA you can put any zip code in the US to get your neighborhood.

Why is this important? This is what separates the true real estate professionals from just being an agent. Knowing information this accurate arms the buyer with offering the right price and has the seller price their property so they are not chasing the market. This translates into working with a true professional from the part timers and hobbyist. Don't get me wrong there are some good part time agents, having the right knowledge or the ability to obtain it and use it properly is becoming harder to find.

Does this mean it is bad time to buy or sell. Now is great time to buy. Selling is relative to you and  your needs. Are there buyers out there? There are a lot of buyers so if you are thinking of buying or selling use this tool to see if you are working with a good professional agent or not.

 If you have any questions about your property value or you want to take advantage of the market contact me.
