With the housing market in a downturn, it’s been much more difficult for real estate appraisers to determine the value of homes. The main tool appraisers used in the past to determine home value was sale prices of similar homes in the area. But as sales volume falls, there are fewer and fewer homes with which to compare. Even when an accurate value is determined based on sales of other homes in the area, because prices decline at such a fast pace, the determined value of a home changes as time passes.

To know what a home is worth, homeowners who are interested in selling their home need to look at the broader market.  For example, a single family home in the Seattle real estate market will sell much higher than a home located on the Eastside or north of Seattle. Location is paramount in determining the value of a home, so note what central locations are near (parks, businesses, schools), and find out what other homes are selling for in similar locations. In addition to location, there are myriad other variables to consider, such as the Seattle residential landscaping and the quality of the schools in the area.

Serving as the center for technology in the Northwest, Redmond has a sizable population living at several different income levels.  Thus, housing in the Redmond area is quite diverse; you will find several neighborhoods with homes valued in the millions, featuring elaborate Redmond landscape designs, as well as smaller locations with apartments, condos, and more affordable housing.  Because home prices differ so much in Redmond, it can be difficult to find homes within your price range in the area where you want to live.

 Redmond is a sprawling town that spans a lot of distance; the more residential part of Redmond near I-405 is much different from the area surrounding Redmond Town Center. In most cases, looking for homes on your own can offer more privacy, but if you’re serious about finding an ideal home, browsing with a realtor allows you access to someone with years of experience who knows the area.
