Following our conversation, you now have the market analysis for 1401 152nd Pl SW. Since the home is vacant and your goal is to pay down your new mortgage, let’s talk through the exact timing and positioning that makes this transition seamless.
You’ve already purchased your new home and 1401 152nd Pl SW is vacant. Meeting with Celeste provides clarity on how to convert that vacant equity into a major financial milestone for your family.
Rather than testing an arbitrary figure, we establish strategic pricing calibrated against recent sales on 152nd Pl SW to protect your equity and draw qualified, competing buyers.
Because you are already settled in your new home, we can execute high-impact staging, flexible weekend tours, and rapid response without disrupting your day-to-day lifestyle.
The ultimate goal is paying down your existing debt. We ensure every dollar of net proceeds is clearly accounted for before launch so you have complete certainty at closing.
Based on our prior discussion, here is how we approach the questions on your mind before making any listing commitment.
Recent closed sales of comparable homes on 152nd Pl SW range from $580,000 for un-updated inventory up to $680,000 for a well-presented, updated home, with active competition positioned at $580,000.
During our listing appointment, we will review current buyer traffic, active competing inventory, and the specific preparation that could support a stronger position within that range.
You mentioned being open to either monthly rental returns or a major lump sum. Given your motivation to pay down the mortgage on your new primary home, cashing out your equity eliminates landlord liabilities, tenant maintenance, and ongoing carrying costs.
We will compare the after-tax net proceeds of a sale directly against net rental yields so you can make the mathematically superior decision for your family.
