What are the factors that influence the value of a house?

Naturally, fluctuating trends in the real estate industry affect the value of a property. However, elements such as the location, the size of the lot, and the house's condition, including windows, roof and renovations, remain determining criteria in its estimate.

Real estate market trends

Economic conditions, whether recession or growth, influence the real estate industry. Therefore, it also affects the estimation of the value of a house. In addition, the value of a property changes depending on whether the market is more favourable to buyers or sellers.

Buyer's market

When the supply of properties exceeds the number of potential buyers, sellers find themselves in a buyer's market. They may then be encouraged to adjust the price downward to make their homes more attractive and stimulate sales. Naturally, this leads to competition between sellers and prices are revised downwards.

Seller's Market

Conversely, if the number of properties for sale is insufficient to satisfy all interested buyers, this creates a seller's market. This shortage limits the negotiating leverage of buyers. Thus, this trend fuels a real estate bubble and causes prices to rise.

Age of property

The property's age is a key factor in the desirability of a home. Old homes often captivate a clientele attracted by the period charm and history they carry.

In contrast, newer homes promise buyers peace of mind with modern amenities and fewer short-term maintenance worries.

This modernity is directly reflected in real estate valuation, increasing perceived value and demand. Newer properties thus align with current expectations in real estate, positioning them as preferred choices for buyers.

Geographical location and terrain

The house's location, whether urban or rural and proximity to services strongly influence the sale price estimate.

The presence of a body of water or belonging to a popular neighbourhood are also assets. Additionally, land size helps define the real estate value of your property.

Professional agents incorporate these characteristics when valuing to set a price that reflects current real estate conditions.

Important work to be done by buyers

If the home requires updates or significant renovations, this may influence the price buyers offer. Major work to be planned often reduces the amount they are willing to pay. Whereas a property ready to be inhabited justifies a more substantial offer.

Kitchen and bathrooms

Kitchens and bathrooms influence the price if a renovation is necessary. Indeed, the costs associated with this work often push future owners to adjust their offer in anticipation of the necessary renovations.

Condition of windows and roof

Windows and the roof require special attention when valuing a property. Indeed, windows that are outdated in terms of energy or a roof at the end of its life imply significant renovation costs. As a result, future owners consider these costs and reduce their offer if work proves essential.

Why not trust the municipal assessment?

The municipal assessment does not always correspond to the market price of a property. Indeed, it is based on the physical characteristics of the house and often relies on old information.

Therefore, it does not necessarily reflect current market dynamics or the recent economic context.

Additionally, a municipal assessor, with thousands of properties to appraise, cannot examine each home in detail as a dedicated professional could.

This is where Équipe Tardif adds value by remaining constantly informed of market fluctuations.

Additionally, we carefully compare your property to similar properties, considering location and key features affecting price.

Finally, we enrich our assessment with the most recent sales data to provide an accurate estimate.
