Before choosing an asking price, picture the homes a buyer might consider alongside yours. The useful question is how your home's size, condition and features compare. I would use that comparison to set a price you can explain and revisit if needed.
For single-family homes and condos in Norwalk, the latest market report places the typical asking price among homes listed for sale at $687,450. Among homes newly listed for sale, the typical asking price was $650,000. For homes that sold, the typical sale price was $677,000. The report recorded 85 newly listed homes in the same single-family and condo category.
Asking prices and completed sale prices answer different questions; their difference does not tell you what to ask for your home. A broad price reference is a starting point, not a substitute for examining homes a buyer could reasonably compare with yours. I favor a price you can support with recent sales while leaving room to respond thoughtfully to feedback.
Gather details about your home's condition, improvements and layout before settling on an asking price. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, paying attention to differences in size, condition and features. Look separately at other homes listed for sale, then decide what would make you reconsider your starting price.
