Get your property valued in Les Gets
Real estate valuation is a crucial step for selling your property. It helps position it on the market based on various criteria. To avoid overvaluing or undervaluing it, it's recommended to seek a real estate professional's assistance. Thomas Mudry, the manager of ACM Immobilier in Les Gets, offers his advice for making a good valuation.
How is a valuation conducted?
To perform it under the best conditions, rely on the advice of a real estate expert. Thomas Mudry shares, "the valuation is conducted following a seller's request or through the prospecting of a negotiator in charge of the transaction service. It is essential for the real estate agent to visit the property for sale to provide a free market value opinion in anticipation of a future sale. The idea is to gather as much information as possible to understand the property and its particularities."
A visit that requires gathering information, but also a relationship between the negotiator and the seller "to get to know the property, it is crucial to exchange with the owner. Dialogue is very important, and a good contact allows to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of a chalet or an apartment. Often, we agree on a meeting with the owner, but it may happen that the person is not present on the day of the valuation. That's why we communicate by email and phone, and we receive the keys at our agency."
The valuation takes into account numerous criteria, Thomas Mudry continues, "all information regarding the property for sale is useful. The area, the number of rooms, the exposure, the sunlight, the view, the location, the condition of the housing, whether it is renovated or old, will determine the right price. Moreover, our Les Gets area is a very touristy resort both in summer and winter. The location, whether close to or far from the center of the resort, the ski lifts, or nature, will also influence the selling price. Furthermore, we consult the title deed to have all the technical details and know what is included. For example, whether a plot of land or an annex is part of the property or not."
Following the visit, the valuation continues directly within the agency. "The agent will then establish a value opinion dossier that summarizes the property for sale. The advantages and disadvantages are mentioned in order to set a selling price that really corresponds to the current real estate market price. The price is calculated by our specific tools, but also thanks to our expertise and knowledge of the market."
Why is it a crucial step for a seller?
Do you wish to sell your property in Les Gets? Know that the valuation allows you to position it on the market and thus stand out from the competition. "The selling price should not be overestimated or underestimated. If it's evaluated too high, it can be difficult to sell within a reasonable timeframe. We promise our clients to sell their property in the best possible delays. That's why we sell properties that we are sure will have an immediate result. We prioritize quality over quantity."
Turn to an agency to succeed in your sales project
To sell your property under the best conditions, choosing to go through a real estate agency will be beneficial for you. Thomas Mudry explains, "real estate is the daily business of a negotiator; they know the market and determine the value of a real estate property. We communicate with the owner and take into account many additional elements."
A more precise expertise, but also a more complete file, because "we can integrate properties for comparison. We analyze the market by looking at the latest properties sold in the area that are registered with a notary. This allows us to present concrete evidence to sellers about the current prices of an apartment or chalet with the same criteria."
Choosing an agency ensures contact and exchange with a sector expert. "The real estate market in Les Gets has its specificities; a professional who is on-site has a much deeper vision than an online estimation. Owners appreciate having support and follow-up. The ACM agency has been present in Les Gets since 1979, our name is recognized in the resort."
What is the selling timeframe in Les Gets?
The village-resort of Les Gets is specific for its tourism and niche market. Owners mainly have second homes. "The market, energized by the summer and winter seasons, the selling timeframes will therefore depend on the demand. Owning a foothold in Les Gets is very appealing because the resort offers numerous activities for holidays. Currently, the demand is very present, especially for chalets, and T3 and T4 apartments. In just 3 weeks, these properties can be sold! The situation and the state of the housing will also depend on the duration of the sale, as a studio or T2 apartment far from the center and slopes, in need of renovation, will be more difficult to sell."
A promising Les Gets market with many investors
The prices of the real estate market in Les Gets vary according to several criteria. Thomas Mudry explains, "in the old market, an apartment is between 6,500 to 8,500€ per square meter and for a chalet, it's between 7,000 and 9,000€ per square meter. The new is very sought after, the square meter averages 10,000€. This can sometimes increase up to 11,000€ or 12,000€."
Rising prices do not prevent buyers from investing in the resort. "The valuation is important because we set the right price and it does not deter buyers. It is possible to view our completed sales for comparison. For example, last September, I had estimated a chalet at one million two hundred thousand euros; the property was sold in 3 weeks. The market is very buoyant, we have many requests from abroad especially from Switzerland, French people based abroad, English, or Dutch. In France, the Lyon region is very attracted to the resort."
