Trulia - A True Resource For Home Pricing
This week's Homeowner Web Resource is Trulia - another online tool that like Zillow, will assist with determining your home's value based on the local market. Trulia takes finding information to an entirely different level though.
First, a homeowner can look at a majority of the homes that are currently listed for sale in a town. This is an image of Trulia's interactive map which shows 75 of the 201 homes currently for sale in Edison New Jersey.
Think your home is worth $300,000? Use Trulia to make sure. By looking at what comparable properties have sold for you can be sure that you (or your agent) are asking a realistic amount for your home. Price it wrong in this tight market and you will be waiting a long time for a buyer.
What is the current average listing price of a 3 bedroom house in Edison? During the week of April 26, 2007 through May 2, 2007, the average is $414,400 (a .04% increase since mid-april).
The timeliness of the information and the ease of ues really makes Trulia a standout service for homeowners. Also be sure to use the heat maps and voices tools provided on the site to learn more about trends and discuss happenings in the area with professionals who have local knowledge.
