What recent value movement means when you are choosing your next step.

When you are deciding how to price or position a home in Lake Tapps, WA, the real question is whether the current value trend supports a confident move. It does, because last month a typical home value was $981,570 and it was up 1.9% from the prior month.
Last month, a typical home value was $981,570. That monthly gain matters most to sellers, because it tells me buyers are still meeting strong pricing when the home is positioned well. For Lake Tapps, WA, I would use that as a reason to stay close to the market instead of stretching for a number that only looks good on paper. The last 12 months showed a further 0.7% increase, which keeps the bigger picture steady, but not aggressive. Set the asking number with care. Watch the first response closely. Be prepared to adjust fast if activity is softer than expected.
