When comparing the condition of your property to others, the smartest path to a reality check includes comparing the features and condition of your property closely and honestly with the properties that most recently sold within your nearest geographic area.

The final sale price of a property has much to do with the sensory perception  of the buyer where Clean equals Peace of Mind and that translates in to a higher "sense" of   value.
