How do you know how much your home is worth?  How do you know how long it will take to sell?  These are two important pieces of information when it comes to selling a home in Southeast Texas or anywhere for that matter. 

As the chart above shows, it took 114 days on average to sell a home in August.  You can also see 13 homes sold in less than 30 days.  Why do some sell so fast?  The three primary factors that affect sales time are location, price and condition. 

What will your home sell for?  Well, the average sales price in the Southeast Texas MLS was $156,619.  There were 12 sales under $29,999 and 1 sales above $500,000.  The best way to determine the price of your home is with a professional valuation.  A REALTOR, like myself- with access to the local market data is the best person to call when you need to determine the value of your home. 

Other sources of value information that you can look at for guidance are your local appraisal district and internet valuation website such as Zillow.  However, take care when using either of these.  The value they place on your home could be off by a lot.  Its fun to look at other sources of information but when you are ready to sell, contact a professional.  Contact me.  I offer professional home valuations at no cost to you and no obliagation.  You can reach me on my cell at 409-504-9097.
