What matters when you sell here.
With homes going under contract in about a week and half selling at or over asking, the launch matters more than anything: pricing at the market, professional photos and video on day one, and a plan for handling several offers at once.
At this price level the buyer pool is smaller and more specific, so marketing goes beyond the MLS: targeted exposure to relocation buyers, agents who work the $750K+ market, and photography that does the home justice.
For water-access and waterfront homes, dock rights, frontage and the view line are worth spelling out in the listing, because buyers pay for them.
