Last month, sales in Lake Tapps, WA ran from $55,750 to $2,290,000. That spread tells me there is no safe shortcut on pricing, because the market is rewarding very different outcomes depending on condition, size, and appeal. For a seller, the lesson is simple do not assume the top end will carry your home automatically. For a buyer, the same spread means you need to compare carefully so you know whether a home is fairly placed. Start with the range, not the wish list. Compare your property against the most recent closings. Set your next move around the evidence, not the emotion.
