While the average price of a property in an area is useful information, at times you need more detailed data. If you are comparing different regions and intend to narrow down your options, the average price may help you make quick decisions. However, if you are focused on a particular type of property in York, it is far better to pay attention to average prices for property types.

Your home may not be the average home

Average prices are informative, but they don’t tell the full story. If you plan on selling your home, you need to know how your house compares to the average property. If your home is more appealing than the average home, using the average price as a barometer will undersell your home. It is best to view your property as a standalone property and to have it valued accordingly.

If you are planning on selling your home, you need to know what is happening in your market. You also need to have a property valuation to ensure you make informed decisions.
