Why a Home’s Value Isn’t a Fixed Number

One of the most common misconceptions we hear from sellers is that a home has a single, predetermined value.

In reality, that’s almost never how residential real estate works.

Most Homes Have a Range of Value

Rather than having one fixed price, most homes sell within a range of value.

The smartest homebuyers choose a home from the outside in.

That’s because the most important factors — and the hardest ones to change — are usually outside the house, and often outside the property lines altogether.

What Is the Outside-In Approach?

When we help our clients evaluate homes, we…
