Choosing your asking price starts with recent sales of similar homes, not whichever townwide price looks more appealing. Let's build a defensible starting point that accounts for your home's features and condition.
For Copiague single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments, the latest market report gives a typical asking price among homes listed for sale of $609,499. The typical sale price was $670,000. The number of homes sold in the latest market report was 11. Asking prices describe listed homes, while sale prices describe completed sales.
Those prices do not establish a pricing target for your home or what an individual listing ultimately received. I would give greater weight to genuinely similar completed sales than to the gap between townwide figures. Starting with an ambitious asking price is a choice to weigh against how convincingly the home's condition and features support it.
Gather your improvement records and note unfinished repairs so we can assess the home's condition accurately. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, then consider competing listings separately when choosing your asking price. Decide what feedback would prompt a pricing review, rather than changing the price without a clear reason.
