Make Your Pricing Competitive.
The Focus 1st software was developed by real estate agents, not statisticians. While most pricing and CMA software are based on the ‘Comparative’ method, Focus 1st takes pricing to another level by factoring in timing, momentum and competition to better match the reality of the real estate market.
When buyers are looking at homes to purchase they are not looking at past home sales and making their decision based purely on numerical value. They are looking at all the home for sale they can afford and match their criteria. Once they identify the properties they like and have seen them in person, the battle for their interest is underway. They are both consciously and sub-consciously weighing the pros and cons of different homes and finding the winner of their purchasing competition. If the home they want is a hot commodity that a number of other potential buyers are also offering on, the price of the home will increase. If a home has little buyers vying for it, or if it’s during the time of the year that less people are buying in that area, that will affect the price adversely.
All of this is common sense and simple to understand if you have ever sold real estate. If your pricing software can’t or doesn’t allow for you to factor in real purchasing factors, then it’s letting you down. You need a better system that lets you follow a simple process, to arrive at a VALUE, then lets you account for the current market situation and find true MARKET VALUE. This is what Focus 1st does that no other software offers. The process is the power.
