How To Arrive At The Right Price For A Luxury Listing

Posted by on Feb 10, 2014 | 7 Comments

Another question I get asked repeatedly deals with pricing: how to arrive at the right price for a luxury listing and how to convey that price to a skeptical seller. You have heard me talk about benchmarks and how important it is to establish them for your market.

One of my favorite benchmarks is the sales price of a given property compared to its tax assessment.

Today, I will show you a spreadsheet that organizes recent sales, their assessments and helps you arrive at another pricing metric for your seller.

Hope you enjoy the video.

    I get this one and it makes perfect sense. In a town where the assessed values are lower than the sale price, does it make sense to get the home re-assessed either before or after the sale?

    Hi Jack, please send these spreadsheets. I am going to start paying attention to assessed values vs. sales prices. In our area, they will be lower than the sales price, but still a useful tool. Thanks! Sharon

    Hi, Jack, Usually the assessments in Dallas are MUCH lower than the sales prices, but what makes it a difficult number to use reliably is that we have a period of time after proposed values are posted to protest and have your value reduced. So tax values:market values range wildly based on whether the owner is proactive at keeping their value as low as possible.

    Even so I would appreciate having all of your spreadsheets and any other tool that you use in your business. Thanks so much, Mellie
