Pricing
Pricing Is a Strategy, Not a Guess
Sold Comps Tell the Real Story
Pricing should be based on recent sold comparable properties, not wishful thinking. Active listings show competition, but sold listings show what buyers actually paid.
Many Factors Affect Value
Condition, upgrades, location, HOA, school assignment, lot, layout, and market timing can all affect value. A thoughtful review considers all of them.
Competition Shapes Perception
Active listings set buyer expectations. Understanding what's competing with your home helps position it more effectively.
