Choosing your asking price starts with completed sales, while competing listings provide separate context. Your home deserves a careful comparison, and I'll help you distinguish a defensible price from an ambitious starting point.
The latest market report includes Sunnyside single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments. Its asking-price information concerns homes listed for sale, not prices established through completed transactions. Its sale-price information concerns properties that moved into sold status within the measured period. The listing information does not necessarily include every available listing because brokerage participation varies.
An asking price tells you what a competing property seeks, not what a purchaser has agreed to pay. I would give the closest completed sales particular attention, then consider how competing listings compare with your home. Starting with an ambitious asking price deserves careful discussion rather than treating another listing's price as proof.
Prepare a list of improvements and known condition issues so we can make meaningful comparisons with similar homes. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, discussing differences in size, condition and features. Consider competing listings separately, then choose an asking price you can explain using the most relevant completed sales.
