What matters when you sell here.
The homes that sold quickest and closest to asking were priced from the nearest comparable sales and presented well from the first day; the ones that lingered usually started too high.
Larger lots bring questions about septic, wells, outbuildings and future splits; answering them in the listing keeps buyers from discounting for uncertainty.
