What to consider when pricing your home to sell

Thinking of selling? Sell your home with The Cascade Team 

Do your research, choose your listing price, and watch the home buyers line up.

Unlike the cost of a gallon of milk or a flat-screen television, a home’s price can be hard to pin down. It’s complicated because each home is unique and has its own story to tell.

When it comes to setting the price of a house, the only thing to do is to look at the recent sales and active listings of similar homes in your area. Combine this research with the inside market knowledge of a local real estate agent, and you can confidently choose your list price.

Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when determining how much to ask for your house.

New Real Estate Development in Monroe: Wild Sky Estates

Wild Sky Estates

I was driving down Old Owen in Monroe, and I came across a New Real Estate Development sign. "Wild Sky Estates" with a directional sign heading up towards Florence Acres. Intrigued about New Homes being built, I wanted to see the new "17 Luxury Homes" stated on the sign. So, I drove down to get more information and see how much they have built so far.  The Community is located on 287th Ave SE, Monroe. Here is the first sign I saw that led me to the New Development.
