What Affects Your Home's Value

• MLS area and subdivision
• Age of the home and how it compares with nearby new construction
• Living area, layout, bedrooms and baths
• Views of the Sandia Mountains
• Lot size, garage space and outdoor living areas

Rio Rancho has a lot of new construction, so resale homes are often compared with new homes nearby. In newer subdivisions, a public improvement district (PID) assessment on the tax bill can affect what buyers will pay. Older homes in the southern neighborhoods are valued more on updates and condition.

Online Estimate vs. Comparative Market Analysis

An online estimate uses public records and recent sales, but it cannot see inside your home. A comparative market analysis (CMA) from a broker starts with the most similar recent sales near you, then adjusts for differences in size, condition, updates, lot and view. It also looks at the homes you would be competing with today. That is the number to use when you decide on a list price.
