The ERC Broker Market Analysis form helps real estate brokers analyze a property's condition, competition, and future marketability. Using this information, brokers estimate the property's Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP). It's important to note that this is not a home inspection or appraisal.
This form is designed for real estate brokers who need to conduct a thorough market analysis for a specific property. It is particularly useful for brokers working with clients who are looking to sell their property and want an informed estimate of its value.
The form requires various details, including:
-
Property address and homeowner contact information
-
Real estate firm and agent details
-
Property condition and any improvements made
-
Neighborhood characteristics and market conditions
-
Comparable sales data
The form guides brokers through a systematic analysis of the property and its surroundings. By evaluating factors like property condition, market trends, and comparable sales, brokers can provide a well-informed estimate of the MLSP based on current market conditions.
Yes, preparers must be aware of state-specific disclosure requirements and include them as necessary. The form is not to be used as an appraisal and should not be construed as such for any purpose.
What should brokers do if they encounter issues during the analysis?
If any issues arise, brokers should refer to their company's guidelines for procedures on contacting homeowners, inspecting properties, and submitting reports. It's crucial to document any problems that may affect the property’s marketability.
The form includes a section to identify potential financing options, such as FHA, VA, cash, or conventional mortgages. Brokers can also note any financing concessions that may be needed to facilitate the sale.
The form can be used for various property types, including single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and more. Brokers should indicate the specific type of property being analyzed on the form.
The analysis should be updated regularly, especially in fast-changing markets. It is recommended to review and revise the analysis every few months or whenever significant changes occur in the property or market conditions.
