Ryan,
As you have already heard, there are a lot of factors that determine the price of your home. Your best bet is to have a broker to do a CMA on your property. The broker will take homes that have sold in the last six to twelve months and compare them to your property. There has been several homes closed in Carolina Lakes. I have a listing in Carolina Lakes that is scheduled to close next month. In some locations the market is very slow. In Harnett County the market seems to be going strong. That will be helpful when you decide to list your home.
I would be glad to do a CMA for you.
Thank you,
Teresa

HI RYAN IT IS HARD TO SAY HO MUCH YOU CAN GET FOR YOUR HOME. NOT KNOWING THE SQ. FOOTAGE AND YEAR IT WAS BUILT OR THE UP DATES YOU HAVE MADE. THE LAKE WILL ALSO DETERMINE PRICE. (LAKE NORMAN IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN LAKE HICKORY, LAKE JAMES IS NEXT TO PRICE OF LAKE NORMAN) IF YOU LIVE IN THE AREA OF LAKE JAMES, LAKE HICKORY OR LAKE NORMAN I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO A MARKET ANALYSIS FOR YOU. THANK ROSE

Ryan, Properties in the Carolina Lakes area vary just as they to anywhere. The type of lot (water front, interior, cul-de-sac, main road,) can make a huge difference in your base price. The age and overall condition including any upgrades will also be contributing factors. A professional real estate can provide you with a comperative market analysis free of charge. This will provide valuable information on homes which have sold in the last six months to a year. It is the solds not the for sales that are important in determining list price.

FIRST ANSWER
Everything currently under contract, except one listing, is new construction. (5 properties). There are two active, again, new construction listed at 89/sf and 91/sf. Nothing has closed in the past six months. As you'd be competing with new construction, you'd have to take that into consideration with price and staging. How old is your home?

It's impossible for an agent to adequately advise on price/sf just by looking at the comps. Your square footage will affect the price/sf. Also upgrades, condition, lot, and many other features. You really should get an agent to show you the competition, and prepare your house to compete with the new actives.

Good luck!
