Choosing an asking price starts with similar homes, not the highest townwide number. I will help you separate useful comparisons from figures that do not fit your property.
The latest market report covers Aurora single-family homes, condos, townhomes and apartments. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $440,000. The typical sale price was $456,595. Listed homes and completed sales are different groups, so these prices do not establish a negotiated discount.
Your asking price needs a comparison focused on this home, including its size, condition and relevant features. I would use completed sales to discuss pricing evidence and listed homes separately to understand competing asking prices. Starting with an ambitious asking price deserves a clear rationale rather than an assumption that negotiation will solve the difference.
Prepare a factual list of improvements, repairs and distinctive features for our review of recent sales of similar homes. Review differences in size, condition and features together before deciding which sales deserve the most weight. Set a plan for reviewing feedback after launch, including what would prompt another discussion about your asking price.
