The national average home price was down in March from where it stood last year. But home prices are not declining. Confused?

Average prices are affected by changes in the mix of sales, so year-over-year price comparisons can be like looking in a funhouse mirror: distorted.

To illustrate: line up a class of kids by height, calculate the average. Now excuse the ten tallest kids and recalculate the average. The average height has declined, but the kids haven't gotten any shorter.

A year ago, the national average price was pitched up by surging sales activity in some of Vancouver's priciest neighbourhoods. With activity there having subsequently returned to earth, the average has declined.

By contrast, the MLS^® Home Price Index (HPI) is not affected by changes in the mix of sales. It's based on a sophisticated model of buyers' willingness to pay for various features that contribute to a home's value, and provides a clear picture of home price trends

Yes it is a good starting point when assessing the value of your home, but that is all. Let me give you an example.

I recently valued a Westside home for a potential seller. The seller like many had an idea what his home was worth. He based his calculations purely on listing prices of similar homes around his area. Reasonable assumption you would think, but in reality that was his downfall.

Here are some facts for you to think about based upon my own research into homes in the area:-

1.  The average price per square foot of homes that were listed in the area was approximately $1,300 per square foot

2. The average price per square foot of similar homes sold in the area over the last 6 months was approximately $1,030 per square foot.

3. The average percentage above assessed value of homes sold in the area over the last six months was 37.5% above assessed value.

 Using the square footage and assessed value of my sellers home:-

Based upon price per square foot of listed properties listing price would be approximately $3,900,000

Based upon price per square foot of recently sold homes listing price would be approximately $3,000,900

Based upon 37.5% above assessed value listing price would be approximately $2,400,000


You can see there is a wide spread in the results basing our calculations on traditional data alone. Many more things come into play, such as the style of the home, the functionality of the home, the location of the home, the condition of the home, and a whole lot more. In the end a Buyer will only pay for your home what it is worth to them, as most of us buy with our hearts and not with our head. That’s what makes pricing a home to sell quite difficult; perhaps the most important factor when listing or buying is the experience and track record of the realtor.
