Your starting price should rest on recent sales of similar homes, not simply match nearby asking prices. Let's account for your home's differences before deciding where to begin.
For Tampa's 33629 single-family homes and condos, townhouses and apartments, the latest market report places the typical sale price at $1,525,000. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $2,187,000. The estimated value of a typical home was $1,139,890. That estimate is model-based, not an appraisal or a completed sale.
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 value and competing listings separately to consider how your home would be presented. A model estimate cannot replace a comparison focused on your home's condition and features.
Gather records of improvements and identify unfinished repairs so we can discuss the home accurately. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, noting differences in size, condition and features. Decide which competing listings deserve comparison before settling on an asking price you can explain.
