Your asking price should begin with recent sales of similar homes, not the amount you hope to receive. I'll help you connect that evidence with what makes your property different.
The market report dated October 7, 2026, covers September activity for New Baltimore single-family homes and condos, townhouses, and apartments. The median sold price was $368,500, reflecting completed sales rather than properties still offered for sale. The median list price among active listings at month-end was $469,900. The reported sold-to-list-price ratio was 101%, a market-level measure that does not establish an individual home's appropriate asking price.
Asking prices and sale prices describe different listed and sold groups, so their difference does not establish a negotiated discount. I would give the most weight to sales resembling your home in size, condition, and features. Starting with an ambitious asking price deserves careful consideration because your pricing decision should remain defensible to a prospective buyer.
Review recent sales of similar homes with me and identify the differences that matter to your asking price. Consider competing listings separately to understand the alternatives a buyer could compare with your property. Decide how you will review feedback after launch, rather than waiting until frustration drives a pricing change.
