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.
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.
