Your starting asking price should reflect similar completed sales, not simply match another listing. I know that decision deserves careful attention, and we can work through the differences that matter.
The latest market report includes De Motte single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and apartments. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $334,500. The typical sale price was $309,950, describing completed sales rather than homes still listed. The number of homes listed for sale in the latest market report was 24, not a live availability count.
Asking prices and sale prices describe different groups, so their difference does not establish a negotiated discount. For your pricing decision, I would start with completed sales that resemble your home and examine competing listings separately. Starting with an ambitious asking price needs a clear rationale, not an assumption that another home's advertised price proves yours.
Prepare a list of your home's features, updates, and known repair needs for our review of recent sales of similar homes. Compare the condition and features of competing listings without treating their asking prices as completed-sale evidence. Decide what feedback would prompt a pricing review before listing, so any later adjustment follows a considered plan.
