Set your asking price after reviewing similar homes, not by adopting a townwide figure. The price needs to fit your home's condition and features while leaving you comfortable with the decision to list.
In Brook, the latest market report puts the typical asking price among homes listed for sale at $194,400. That figure covers single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments listed for sale. The number of homes listed for sale in the latest market report was 6. For those residential property types, reported housing supply, measured in months, was 3.
The typical asking price is a starting reference, not a valuation of your particular home. A small set of listed homes can differ considerably in size, condition and features, so a townwide figure cannot settle your price. I would weigh the homes buyers could compare with yours alongside recent sales of similar homes before choosing a number.
Start with a review of recent sales of similar homes, noting meaningful differences in size, condition and features. Look separately at homes listed for sale to see which asking prices a buyer might consider instead. Decide what preparation your home needs, then choose an asking price you can explain and a point at which you will reassess it.
