Relying solely on average or median prices might not provide a comprehensive view of property value. The MLS® HPI is a valuable tool that calculates data for a typical home with common features in a specific neighborhood, offering benchmark prices for different housing categories.
Why it Matters:
Benchmark prices provide detailed insights into the typical selling price of homes with specific styles, presenting a more accurate assessment of property values.
By leveraging benchmark prices, a Realtor® can provide valuable insights at any time, explaining whether the current market is favorable to buyers, sellers, or balanced. In a seller's market, you might experience price increases and multiple offers on properties. On the other hand, in a buyer's market, prices may decrease, posing challenges for sellers, especially those with less attractive properties.
