Are you
considering buying a home?
Buyers
determine Market Value. Sellers can "ask" anything they
want, but, if the buyer doesn't agree.....No Sale.
Market
Value is defined by "The most probable price
which a property should bring in a competitive and open market
under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller,
each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming price is not
affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the
consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing
of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: (1) buyer
and seller are typically motivated; (2) both parties are well
informed or well advised, and each acting what he or she considers
his or her own best interest; (3) a reasonable time is allowed
for exposure in the open market; (4) payment is made in terms
of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements
comparable thereto; and (5) the price represents the normal consideration
for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing
or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale."
Buyers
make the final decision....Is it worth it?
Whether
you will be working with a Realtor or you are going
to brave purchasing a FSBO (For Sale by Owner), buying
a home can be very stressful.
Having
the "ball on YOUR court" gives you a distinct
advantage.
Knowledge
is power and data is the key.

After
all...it is Your Money !
Before
you meet with your real estate agent, determine the most important
amenities. This could be square footage, price, number of bedrooms,
new kitchen, new HVAC system, thermo pane windows, basement, garage,
etc. Independence Data's research allows you to make the best
offer with knowledge of the market.

properties. We will provide you with the most recent sales
data in the neighborhood that are potentially similar the
the property that you will be purchasing. Before you invest
in one of the largest purchases of your life, get to know
the neighborhood. |

area.

What does
this information do for you?
The
ultimate goal when buying real estate is to get you the lowest price
at the best terms. Knowledge of recent sales within your neighborhood
can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars even before you
submit a purchase agreement. You will have the knowledge right in
your hands to support your estimated offer. This information is valuable
for your potential mortgage broker and finally the appraiser who will
be estimating the value of your home. IndependenceData.com provides
all of this information to you in a secure web site-styled report,
which can easily be emailed to your mortgage broker and appraiser,
saving everyone time and money.
Tip:
Give your appraiser a copy of the sales data, your appraisal might get
finished a little quicker as it is appreciated by most appraisers .
Also, the appraiser knows that YOU KNOW about neighborhood home sales.
How long does this take?
The
real estate market can be very volatile. You need your information
now, but want it done right. There are many free, instant-online valuation
services which are computer generated and have limited amounts of
information on the neighboring properties. In many cases, the information
provided is much more dated and irrelevant. Independence Data physically
searches all available property records systems to all data research
within 24 hours, 7-Days a Week. It is common to have sales as recent
as the same week or month. Most other data services are 1-4 months
delayed. After you are completely satisfied with your report, we will
send you a CD-ROM the next business day for a "hard-copy".
How much does
this cost?
Generally,
in most areas of Ohio, the fee is $50 per Property Report. (See
our list on the Order Page for details)
