Factors that affect the home's market value

The valuation is based on the home's location, design and condition, as well as the demand for homes in your area at the current time. We also look at market factors such as e.g. interest rates, loan situation and current supply on the market. With thousands of valuations and home sales behind us, we know that our valuations give you a fair picture of what your home is worth today.

Value apartment 

There are a number of factors that affect the value of an apartment. The agent looks at the location and condition of the apartment. Year of construction, monthly fee, floor plan, living area, number of rooms, ceiling height and location of the apartment in the property. Does the apartment have any other advantages as the right value such as, for example, high ceilings, tiled stove, balcony or evening sun. What do the association's finances look like? Is there an elevator or garage in the property? Costs in operation, broadband and other things naturally also affect.
 

Value houses and villas

When evaluating a house, the size of the plot is important. Having a well-kept garden makes an important first impression. If there is beautiful nature nearby such as a sea view or a lake view, the price also goes up because this is attractive to many. Other important factors are the home's location, living area, condition of the house, stove or tiled stove, patio, heating system and operating costs. The outside of the house also affects the valuation. A well-maintained facade, new roof  or pool increases the value.
