Evidence beats vibes
Sold prices help you understand what completed transactions looked like in the round. They do not tell you the internal condition of the home in front of you.
Adjust for what you can see
Extensions, neglect, and premium finishes all move value. Two semis on the same street can justify different numbers.
Avoid fake precision
A spreadsheet cannot replace negotiation reality or seller motivation. Treat ranges as ranges.
