Listings show the competition. Completed transactions show prices buyers and sellers actually agreed. Start with several recent sales near your apartment, particularly if you have been living abroad and your impression of local prices is based on older experience.
Choose genuinely comparable homes
Compare area using the same source, then floor, lift, parking, condition and sale date. The same advertised room count can conceal important differences. Record which details are confirmed and which remain assumptions.
Use a range when evidence is limited
If close comparisons are scarce, explain why the estimate spans a wider range. Decide how long you can wait and how you will assess market response. Questions after viewings and real offers help distinguish a pricing issue from a problem with presentation or handover timing.
Know when a formal valuation is required
If a bank, court or other body needs a written valuation, ask that recipient what kind of appraiser's report it accepts. For marketing, Alla can help assess competing homes and the property's practical selling points so the asking price connects with both the evidence and your timetable.
Discuss your property plans with Alla
