Your weekly update on the Incline Village Real Estate Market, brought to you by Bruce and Sandy Soli of Intero Real Estate Services.  Each week we scrub the MLS looking for the best deals and also to report on what is moving in Incline Village Real Estate.  Here is the market report for the week of May 17-23rd, 2010.  Enjoy…

There’s nothing that compares to a local expert. Someone who knows the markets in which he or she works. Local agents know the neighborhoods in which they do business in a way that a big box company simply can’t. They know that home prices don’t vary simply from state to state, nor from city to city. They know that home prices are specific to neighborhood and that making sweeping generalizations about the real estate market in a given area might get you in the right ballpark, but they’ll rarely hit a home run.  

For example…online tools like Zillow and Trulia generalize the actually property worth.  They have never been inside, have no idea of any upgrades or lakeviews, etc.  They use sqft, beds, baths and lot size to determine a value comparing apples to apples, not apples to oranges which is more likely in our market.  We’re not knocking these services as they are innovative and offering a global service that does have value, but the fact remains that the information they make available for home values is often wrong and sometimes, its values are dramatically below actual market price, sometimes they are far above. 

These services simply cannot provide the perspective that a human being and and a local expert in an area can.  When you work with a real estate professional, work with someone who understands the subtle nuances of the neighborhoods in their market area. Work with someone who knows that homes on the side of the street with water views are going to cost more than those on the side of the street with no view.

Work with someone who’s going to know which price constitutes a great deal for his or her clients. 

At Intero, we pride ourselves on being this type of company and agent. We take pride in being a hometown company whose agents live, work, and play in our market area. We take pride in knowing that our real estate professionals understand the market data that really matters, and we take pride in knowing that our agents know the tiny details that will make the biggest difference to you.  See how we seperate ourselves from other agents.
