Setting your offer price sounds simple — but knowing what a property is actually worth is where most buyers get stuck.

In this episode, Veronica and Meighan break down how to properly assess property value so you can make confident, informed decisions before you make an offer.

They explain why relying on price guides, emotions, or outdated sales data can lead to overpaying or repeatedly missing out, and how professionals actually calculate value using comparable sales, market behaviour, and on-the-ground insights.

You’ll learn how to analyse properties more objectively, adjust for key differences, and decide your walkaway price with evidence—not guesswork —so you can move forward with clarity and avoid costly mistakes.
