Question the Agent you’re working with about this situation as sometimes, Agents will list a home at what the seller wants versus what the market will support. Sometimes larger homes are priced based on sold price per sq. ft. of smaller homes in same subdivision, see Price Per Sq Ft And The Costco Principle. AND, sometimes a home is both larger than average as a result of an addition, an enclosure AND a major renovation where Agents are trying to price in a larger than average home, BUT one that’s renovated as well….”
