How much does it cost to live in El Doral?
The value of your home is not just a number; is a reflection of the local market, recent sales and the unique characteristics of your property.
Let’s take a house in the beautiful neighborhood in El Doral. This is how we would put together a CMA:

Carry out market studies.
We would search recent sales data in El Doral, paying close attention to properties similar in size, condition and location.

Carry out a comparative analysis.
Next, we carefully compare these properties to the home for sale, considering differences in features like a pool, upgrades like an updated kitchen, and market trends.

Add our local experience.
Our knowledge of the area gives us additional information on unique selling points that can affect the value of a home in El Doral.

The process is not just about numbers; it’s about understanding the story behind each property and its place in the local market.
*And remember* your home deserves an accurate valuation based on extensive research and experience (sorry, Zestimates!)

Curious about the true value of your home? Send us your address via private message - we’d love to put together a CMA for your property, no strings attached.

The magic number of home buying...
There’s one crucial number you absolutely need to know – and it’s not just your credit score. It’s your ‘magic number’ for home-buying affordability.
Financial experts advise keeping your mortgage payments at or below 28% of your pre-tax income if you’re carrying minimal debt. 
But if you’ve got other financial obligations, the game changes. Now, it’s about ensuring your TOTAL debt payments – spanning from your mortgage to student loans and credit cards – don’t surpass 36% of your pre-tax income.
Say you’re bringing in $5,000 each month. According to the 28% rule, you could earmark up to $1,400 for your mortgage assuming no other debts exist. But if existing debts demand $600 monthly, the 36% rule nudges you to adjust your mortgage budget to $1,200, aiming to cap total debt payments at $1,800 or less.
That’s the magic number! It’s the number that ensures you can live comfortably while owning.
So what’s your magic number?
Send us a message. We can recommend an excellent lender who will help you calculate exact figures.

¿Confías en tu Zestimate? ¡No tan rapido!
Su Zestimate podría estar engañándolo... en gran medida.

Toma en cuenta esto:
Nuestro mercado local es un misterio para Zillow.

Una gran razón por la que su Zestimate podría estar equivocado es que no sabe nada sobre las condiciones del mercado hiperlocal. Es como navegar por una ciudad nueva sin GPS: te encuentras dando vueltas en círculos.

Tu hogar es único; Los algoritmos de Zestimate no reconocen eso.

Los algoritmos de Zestimate no tienen en cuenta lo que hace que su hogar sea único. Dependen en gran medida de datos disponibles públicamente y se pierden las características especiales y actualizaciones de su hogar.

Zillow ha admitido que no siempre son exactos. 

Zestimate ha informado que los Zestimates son un “punto de partida” y no pretenden reemplazar una evaluación formal. 

Si desea saber cuánto vale REALMENTE su casa, esto es lo que voy a hacer: envíenos un mensaje de texto con su Zestimate y le enviarémos un análisis de mercado comparativo (CMA) adaptado a su casa, sin condiciones.
