The recent sold mix gives you a real pricing frame

When you are deciding what a home is really worth to you, recent closings matter more than opinions. Last month, 163 homes sold, and that gives me enough real activity to work from.
In Puyallup, WA, the recent sold homes included a $450,450 closing, a $550,000 closing, a $585,000 closing, and a $745,000 closing. I would use that mix before I ever rely on a guess. That range gives me room to be more specific about fit and less reactive about headlines. I want clients to see where a home sits inside the recent sold picture, not outside it. Study the closest matches first. Then decide how far you want to stretch, and stay strict about the homes that truly justify it.
