Your asking price should begin with comparisons, not a desired sale amount alone. I'll help you separate your home's specific strengths from townwide figures so the decision has a clear foundation.
The report's September 2026 data cover Auburn Hills single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and apartments. The median list price among listings active at the end of September 2026 was $278,950. The median sold price for September 2026 was $280,000. There were 44 active listings at the end of September 2026.
Asking prices and sale prices describe different groups, so their difference does not establish a negotiated discount. I would use these townwide figures as context, then focus on recent sales of homes resembling yours. An ambitious asking price deserves a clear explanation based on size, condition, and features, not simply your preferred outcome.
Prepare a list of improvements and unfinished repairs so we can compare your home's condition accurately. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, then examine competing listings separately to understand asking-price alternatives. Choose an asking price and agree on when to review showing feedback rather than changing direction after every comment.
