Choosing an asking price starts with similar completed sales, not a townwide figure. I'll help you weigh your home's differences so the price has a clear basis.
For Auburn Hills single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments, the latest market report gives a typical sale price of $280,000. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $278,950. The estimated value of a typical home was $299,480. That estimated value comes from a valuation model and is not a formal appraisal.
Asking prices and completed sale prices describe different groups, so their difference does not establish a negotiated discount. I would use recent sales of similar homes to assess your asking price, considering size, condition and features together. Starting with an ambitious asking price deserves careful discussion rather than assuming the townwide estimated value supports it.
Gather a list of improvements and known repair needs so we can distinguish documented work from unfinished projects. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, then consider competing listings separately to understand advertised alternatives. Decide what buyer response would prompt a pricing review before the listing begins, rather than improvising later.
