If an agent has recently sold a property next door, one down the road and one a street away there’s a good chance they will have a pretty clear idea as to how much your property could sell for. Markets obviously change and for that matter they can change within a four-week auction campaign, however having this experience gives the agent an insight into the market, what buyers are looking for and how much demand there is for properties like your own.
Having a solid understanding as to how much you could sell your property for gives you confidence when embarking on the sales campaign.
