Price Well 5 - Market value range vs. your expectations

The range of market value for the home you want to buy or sell can be determined--but what happens if this true range does not meet your needs or expectations?

There is no single price authority that determines what you can buy or sell a home for. Negotiations of different buyers and sellers for similar homes create a range of values. If the range does not meet your expectations, you have two options:
  Change your expectations to accept the true current market range of values.
  Wait to buy or sell until either the market or your situation changes.
Many buyers and sellers begin their real estate purchase or sale quest with an expectation that lies outside of the true range of values. Because of this, we often call the range of values the "range of tempered/shattered expectations."
Because expectations often collide with reality, we discuss two powerful matters at our face-to-face meetings to help you decide what is in your best interest:
  Proof positive of our ability to determine the accurate value range.
  Six comprehensive questions that will leave no doubt as to a plan of action.
What can we control, and what is out of our control?
  None of us have control over the range of value the market dictates.
  As your agent, we contol maneuvering the current range of value to your benefit.
  As a buyer/seller you control if the best you can do now meets your goals and objectives, or if you should wait.
