Your home's asking price should begin with recent sales of similar homes, not simply match nearby listings. I will help you distinguish useful comparisons from attractive numbers that do not reflect your home's size, condition or features.
The latest market report covers Commack single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments. The typical sale price was $827,000 for completed sales. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $859,499. These asking and sale prices describe listed versus sold groups, not the same homes moving through a negotiation.
A competing asking price tells you what another listing requests, not what a buyer has agreed to pay. I would use completed sales to ground your price discussion and review listed homes separately as alternatives buyers could consider. Starting with an ambitious asking price deserves careful thought when the strongest similar sales do not support it.
Gather details about your home's condition, improvements and usable space so our comparisons focus on meaningful differences. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, including differences in size, condition and features. Decide how you will assess buyer feedback after listing rather than committing to an asking price without a review plan.
