Choosing your asking price starts with your home's strongest comparisons, not the number you hope to achieve. I'll help you separate relevant sales evidence from expectations so the decision has a clear foundation.
For Denver single-family homes and condos, townhouses, and apartments, the latest reported figures include a typical sale price of $575,000. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $524,990. The asking-price figure concerns homes listed for sale, while the sale-price figure concerns completed sales. Their difference does not establish what any individual home should be priced at or eventually sell for.
Your asking price needs a comparison focused on this home rather than an automatic match to either townwide figure. I would give completed sales careful weight and consider competing listings separately as asking prices, not accomplished results. Starting with an ambitious asking price involves a tradeoff between your preferred outcome and how convincingly the home compares.
Gather details about your home's size, condition, improvements, and features before we review similar completed sales. Examine competing listings separately to understand the alternatives a prospective buyer could consider. Agree on what new sales evidence would justify revisiting the price rather than changing it without a clear reason.
