Choose an asking price by studying homes that resemble yours, not by picking a townwide number. A price needs to reflect your home's condition and give you a clear basis for responding to offers.
In the latest market report, the typical asking price among homes listed for sale in Winnetka was $799,950. The typical sale price for homes sold in Winnetka was $721,500. Those prices measure different groups: homes listed for sale and homes that sold. The reported figures include single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments, so property type matters when choosing comparisons.
Neither typical price sets the value of your particular home. I would give more weight to recent sales of similar homes, then examine competing listings separately to understand the choices prospective buyers may see. Condition, size and features deserve a careful review before you settle on an asking price.
Gather details about improvements and any repairs you have not completed so we can discuss how to present the home accurately. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, paying attention to meaningful differences rather than matching prices by address alone. Decide your asking price and how you will assess feedback after the home is listed, without assuming a particular offer will arrive.
