There are numerous subdivisions and neighborhoods within each county. Before listing your home for sale, we need to drill down through the county, zip code, and subdivision data. Once we have the general numbers for your area, we can begin looking at nuances such as the specific location within the subdivision, nearby amenities, recent trends, and the condition of the home.
Some homes will not fit neatly into the usual parameters when finding comparable properties. Historic homes, horse properties, earth homes, some luxury properties, and other rarities will impact the way we go about finding the right comparables when pricing a home for sale.
