How do I know if a home is priced fairly?

Compare the list price to recent sales of similar homes in the same neighborhood, known as comps. Your agent can provide a comparative market analysis. Pay attention to price per square foot, days on market, and whether the seller has already reduced the price.

Why It Matters

Overpaying for a home can affect your equity, monthly payment, and future resale value.
