Cynthia-
I agree with several agents below. You need to sit down with a professional and compare the two homes. The agent you are working with might not have done this for you. Often, agents ask the seller what price they are looking to net, and then use that as the listing price, without taking into account the market absorption rate of the area. A professional agent will pull all those numbers and sit down to explain them to you. You should also look for someone who is very proactive in their marketing. For instance, we go door knocking every weekend, as the market has shown us that often times neighbors know of someone looking to get into the neighborhood. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me at 724-5831 or email me at BobEberle@KW.com.
