Choosing your asking price calls for a comparison focused on your home, not simply copying a townwide figure. I can work through that distinction with you while keeping your sale goals in view.
For Lakewood single-family homes, condos, townhomes and apartments, the latest reported typical sale price was $565,000. The estimated value of a typical home was $595,070. That estimated value comes from a valuation model and is not a formal appraisal. The sale price measures completed transactions, while the estimated value is a different measurement.
I would use the estimate as background, then give greater attention to recent sales of homes resembling yours. Differences in size, condition and features deserve a careful review before choosing an asking price. Your preferred outcome matters, but it should not replace the comparison that supports your pricing decision.
Prepare a list of improvements and remaining repair needs so we can assess the home's condition clearly. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, discussing meaningful differences rather than averaging unlike properties. Consider homes listed for sale separately to understand the alternatives a prospective buyer could compare with yours.
