What moves the price

Five things that put a Great Falls home above or below the median.

Size above ground

Buyers and appraisers price the finished space above grade first. A basement adds value, but at a lower rate.

Condition and updates

A kitchen, baths and systems done in the last few years show up in the price. Original finishes usually sell below the median.

Lot and street

Backing to trees or a quiet street, versus a busy road or power lines, can move two houses of the same size well apart.

School boundary

Two homes a street apart can go to different schools. Check yours on the school boundary finder.

Timing

Spring listings draw the most buyers. See which months sell best in the best time to sell study.

Timing is a decision, not a coincidence. The right timing, the right price and the right condition make a smooth sale.Ahmed Makkiyah
