Choosing your asking price means finding evidence relevant to your home, not picking the largest local figure. I'll help you separate useful comparisons from numbers that answer different questions.
For Garden City's single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments, the latest market report includes asking prices, sale prices and model estimates. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $1,343,944. The typical sale price was $1,155,000, while the estimated value of a typical home was $1,442,370. The estimated value is model-based and is not a formal appraisal.
These measurements cannot establish the right asking price for your home simply by being placed beside each other. I would give recent sales of genuinely similar homes more attention than an estimate that cannot account for every detail. An ambitious asking price needs a clear rationale, including how your home's condition and features compare with competing listings.
Gather records of improvements and identify repairs that could affect how a prospective purchaser evaluates your home. Review differences in size, condition and features with me when selecting recent sales of similar homes. Examine homes listed for sale separately, then choose an asking price and a plan for reviewing buyer feedback.
