Choosing an asking price starts with similar completed sales, not the amount you hope to receive. I want your pricing decision to reflect your home and your priorities without confusing townwide figures with a personal valuation.
For Troy's single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments, the latest market report gives a typical sale price of $425,995. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $450,000. Homes sold for an average of 98.8% of their asking prices. Asking prices and sale prices describe listed and sold groups, so their difference does not establish a negotiated discount.
Your asking price needs a comparison focused on this home rather than a direct copy of either townwide price. I would give the closest completed sales more weight than an ambitious asking price on an unsold home. Differences in size, condition and features deserve discussion before we decide where your home belongs.
Gather details about improvements and remaining repairs so we can assess the condition a buyer would actually receive. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, considering competing listings separately rather than treating their prices as completed results. Choose an asking price with a clear explanation and decide what feedback would justify revisiting it.
