Choosing an asking price deserves more than picking the most appealing number. Start with similar completed sales, and I'll help you consider how your home's condition and features affect that comparison.
For Carytown's single-family homes and condos, townhouses, and apartments, the latest market report puts the typical sale price at $430,000. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $874,000. The estimated value of a typical home was $568,130. That estimated value comes from a valuation model and is not a formal appraisal.
Asking prices and sale prices describe different groups; their difference does not establish a negotiated discount. I would use the model estimate as context, not as the deciding price for your home. Your starting price should reflect comparisons with similar homes rather than whichever townwide figure is highest.
Gather a list of improvements and known repair needs so we can discuss condition without overlooking important differences. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, then consider competing listings separately. Choose an asking price you can explain through those comparisons, and agree on when to review buyer feedback.
