Choosing an asking price means balancing your goals with evidence about similar homes. I would start with completed sales, then examine how your home's condition and features compare.
For Castle Rock single-family homes and condos, townhouses, and apartments, the latest market report includes completed sales and listed homes. The typical sale price was $660,000. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $725,000. Asking prices and sale prices describe different groups, so their difference does not establish a negotiated discount.
Neither townwide price determines what you should ask for your particular home or what an individual buyer will offer. Completed sales help anchor the discussion, while homes listed for sale provide a separate view of asking prices. Starting with an ambitious asking price should be a deliberate choice, not a substitute for comparing relevant homes.
Gather a clear list of your home's updates, known repair needs, and features before we discuss pricing. Review differences in size, condition and features together using recent sales of similar homes. Compare relevant homes listed for sale separately, then choose an asking price you can explain through those comparisons.
