Also take into consideration swimming pools, garage size, lot size, views and other upgrades so you can adjust your value accordingly.Finally, consider current market trends and seasonal price changes for indications on both the resale value of your property, and the best time to buy or sell.Keeping all these important pointers in mind, realize there is no exact formula for value determination, you have to take each property on a case by case basis.Estimating Repair CostsThe next step in being able to determine an offer price is to accurately estimate the cost of repairs.
