one home sell for more than another, similar home.
In my research, I looked for examples of similar houses being sold for differing amounts of money, where only one of the two houses was staged. The clearest example I could find was in the case of these two listings.
This development has 200 equivalent townhouses.
Every single townhome in the neighborhood is three stories, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Every unit has the same floor plan.
I looked for two sales there, and found these:
• Townhome A sold on August 26. • Townhome B (5 doors down) sold on July 26, for 40,000 dollars less. I visited this neighborhood, and I am familiar with these properties. You could not find a better example of two identical properties that sold for different prices. The lots the units sit on are identical, as far as the desirableness of the location. Both units had the same kitchen plan, with the same cabinets and a tile floor. Both units had nice hardwood floors in the living room and carpeted bedrooms.
