Choosing your asking price calls for a comparison focused on your home, not simply matching a local figure. I want you to understand the reasoning before committing to a price.
Coram's typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $648,000 in the latest market report. The typical sale price was $600,000. Both measures cover single-family homes and condo, townhouse, and apartment properties. The listed and sold groups are different, so these prices cannot establish what an individual home should sell for.
Your home's condition, size, and features belong at the center of the pricing discussion rather than at its edges. I would separate completed sales from competing asking prices because each answers a different question about your proposed listing. Starting with an ambitious asking price requires a clear rationale and a plan for reviewing the response.
Gather a record of improvements and known repair needs so we can compare your home accurately. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, noting meaningful differences rather than treating every nearby sale equally. Consider competing listings separately and decide which evidence would justify revisiting your asking price after launch.
