Choosing an asking price starts with recent sales of homes like yours, not the amount you hope to receive. I want that decision to reflect your home's differences and your priorities without confusing expectations with evidence.
The September 2026 market report for Macomb covers single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and apartments, with a median sold price of $480,000. The median list price for active listings at September's end was $539,900. The report lists a sold-to-list price percentage of 99.1%. The asking-price and sale-price figures describe listed and sold groups, rather than the negotiation history of the same homes.
Neither townwide price tells us what your particular home should command or what an individual buyer will offer. I would give the strongest weight to completed sales that resemble your home in size, condition, and features. Other asking prices help assess the alternatives a buyer might consider, but they are not completed transactions.
Gather details about your upgrades and repairs so we can distinguish meaningful differences from personal preferences. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, then consider competing listings separately before choosing your asking price. Decide when to reassess that price using actual inquiries and feedback rather than an automatic reduction schedule.
