Recent closed prices and size give sellers a better pricing frame
If you are preparing to sell and want to avoid a price cut later, set expectations with the latest closed numbers before you do anything else. That gives you a cleaner starting point in SeaTac, WA than testing a number the market never asked for.
Last month, a typical closed sale in SeaTac, WA reached $635,000, and a typical sold home size was 1,900 square feet. I look at those two numbers together because price without size can mislead, and size without price can do the same. For a seller, that creates a straightforward discipline your asking price has to make sense in relation to the kind of home that actually closed. If your property is smaller, dated, or configured differently, I would not stretch the pricing story beyond what recent sales support. Use recent closed price and recent sold size as your first screen, then refine from there. Fix the items that affect how buyers compare your home on first impression. In SeaTac, WA, I would rather launch at a defendable number than chase the market down later.
