Do you know what your Pascack Valley home is worth?

No matter what phase the market is in, one of the most important factors in selling your home is to price it competitively. Too often, homeowners say “Well, the home down the street sold for “$$$,$$$,” so I think I can get at least that, if not more!” However, there are several factors to consider, both on the internal (your home) & external (the market) side of the equation.
