Competitive Market Analysis
The first step to selling your Los Angeles area home is to get a skilled local Real Estate professional such as the Joe La Croix to provide you with a CMA or Comparative Market Analysis.
Why automated Valuations Are Bad
Have you ever wondered why most of the internet sites that provide an “instant home valuation” such as Zillow or Trulia are typically off by 20% to 40%? The simple reason is that a computer analysis of home values can only take into account tax data, a trailing indicator.
In an appreciating market, a trailing indicator will always put a home’s price too low. Why? Because it is playing catch-up with real-time sales.
The Joe La Croix CMA Advantage
The real knowledge and understanding within a CMA are primarily due to the experience and expertise of a local real estate professional. Internet valuations are typically “quantitative” only. They take into account only numbers. The value of a good agent is that their analysis is both quantitative using much fresher sales data than tax data, but more importantly, it is primarily qualitative.
