How is the market doing?
That is one of the questions we hear most often. The answer depends on price range, location, condition, timing, and the specific home, but we keep an eye on current MLS Grid data so the conversation starts with real numbers.
For a simple snapshot, here is what has happened with three-bedroom homes since September 9th:
256
three-bedroom homes listed for sale.
$256,106
average original list price for those new listings, trimmed to reduce outlier noise.
$258,544
average sale price for the 235 three-bedroom homes that closed in the same period.
Those closed homes originally listed for an average of $272,842. That list-to-sale relationship is useful context, but every home still needs its own pricing conversation.
What can we help you do?
Find a homeSearch active listings on a map, filter by the criteria that matter to you, and pick up where you left off when you come back.
Buy with confidenceUnderstand value, compare tradeoffs, coordinate inspections and financing, and get safely to closing.
Sell with a planGet thoughtful pricing, preparation, marketing, showing feedback, negotiation help, and contract-to-close coordination.

Mike and I had a fabulous time cruising around town with you. ;) You were
awesome. I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate your
attention to detail, organization, and determination to get the job done.
I know that my situation was a bit more involved in that I needed to find
something that I loved, and find it fast. And I know I'm particular! =) Yet
you were there to give me any and all suggestions while keeping things in
order, trying to make things as easy as possible. And you were honest on
top of everything else!! You definitely amazed me. It was refreshing to
have someone like you help me through this -- I couldn't have done it without
you. I promise you that I will recommend you to everyone that I possibly can.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
