IN our last episode WE TALKED ABOUT PRICE PER SQFT. I consider this a rudimentary approach to snagging the best price for your most valuable investment.
Here’s a better way…
I call it the WHAT YOU CAN GET THEORY and combine it with the price per square foot approach
The top 4 elements of value that a buyer will use to determine value are
PRICE - can I afford it
LOCATION - is it close to work, schools, shopping
CONDITION - Does it deliver what I need on a timely basis? is it ready, or must I move across the country to begin repairing before I can enjoy living in the home
AVAILABILITY OF SIMILAR PROPERTIES (supply & demand) - how many do I have to choose from? Is it rare or do we see homes like it all of the time?
AESTHETICS - STYLE & TYPE
Further, there are very important brownie points that make a home more or less distinctive when it comes to pricing
- Home Size larger square foot homes sell for lower price per square foot
- Smaller square foot homes sell for higher price per sqft
- Generally speaking one story homes sell faster than two
- Lot style - double lots, larger lots; culdesac lots, lots next to greenspace can demand a higher value
- Homes that have been remodeled are more desirable (Bc they are ready to move into)
- Homes with interior upgrades such as custom window coverings and paint colors, plank flooring, demand a higher price
- Homes with exterior features like additional landscaping, pavers and walk ways pergola’s and patios say BUY ME
In summary:
Use Average Price per square foot as a guide
Presentation is KEY - Condition is a strong determinant of value (homes in best condition often sell first) Buyers go crazy over homes that look more expensive than their price tag)
Consider the number of similar properties available and factor in location Use a wider radius of what is available - not just your neighborhood
Utilize a realtor to justify additional points relating to your home’s uniqueness
Make sure it makes a statement begin with CLEAN and UNCLUTTERED
Get fancy after you check those two boxes.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
