Apartment For Sale

It was a joke, MOM.

Well, I guess we can grant a point or two for trying.

yes i feel tex's pain...i had real estate agents tell me my place was worth 140,000 up to 200,000 so really nobody knows what they are doing....

What makes it difficult for owners is that there is no Multiple Listing Service or similar system here to show true sales figures. However, a capable agent will use three or four data points to triangulate to and verify the correct market price for a property. There is actually a real market price per m2 for each neighborhood/sub zone, then you add or subtract depending upon specific amenities of the property.

I would be happy to help you Tex except I work primarily Recoleta, Bario Norte, the Palermos (all), Las Cañitas, and Belgrano. I don't know Caballito.

Good luck with your sale!

Some real estate offices offer appraisals without charge but you have to be careful with those. A few agents will make a low appraisal just to make a quick sale. It happened to the elderly woman whose apartment (in horrible condition) just below mine was listed and sold for an insanely cheap price in early 2007 It needed to be completely remodeled but I think it would have sold for at least 20% more as is within three months. The same agent (his office is in the next building) appraised my place in March of 2009 for about 20% less than "what" (aka "the amount") I sold it for a few months later.

When you go to buy, the agents tell you, everything is very expensive blah blah blah'

When you go to sell, the agents tell you, your property value is too low..blah blah blah'

This is common, worldwide.

Some truth there. But in "other" parts of the world there are reference points like MLS and Zillow which will get you pretty close to the bone. Here there is Blah, Blah, Blah and more Blah.
