Setting an asking price starts with recent sales of similar homes, not simply matching nearby listings. Because that decision shapes your launch, I want you to understand the reasoning behind the price we discuss.
For Allen single-family homes, the typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $674,000 in the latest market report. The number of homes listed for sale in the latest market report was 375. The typical sale price for Allen single-family homes was $496,500. Asking prices and sale prices describe listed and sold groups, so their difference does not establish a negotiated discount.
I would use completed sales to discuss a supported asking price and competing listings to assess alternatives. A higher asking price elsewhere does not establish what a buyer will pay for your home. Starting with an ambitious asking price deserves careful discussion about the evidence supporting it and your flexibility.
Prepare a list of improvements and known repair needs so we can assess condition accurately. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, paying attention to size, features and condition. Decide what feedback would prompt a pricing review before launching, rather than improvising that decision later.
