Listing Price Calculator
The right list price brings maximum offers and the best final price. Overpricing at listing costs sellers more than you'd think — stale listings close well below where a sharper list would have cleared. This calculator blends comps with absorption rate to set list.

How the math works
Pricing a listing combines comparable-sales value with current market conditions. Absorption rate (months of inventory) is the fastest read on whether buyers or sellers have leverage. Under 3 months is a seller's market; over 6 is a buyer's market.
Overpricing at listing is the single biggest seller mistake. Properties that sit for 45+ days almost always close below where they would have closed with a tighter initial price. This calculator nudges list down on slow-market signals.
How to Use
- Enter the comparable-sales price per square foot for your neighborhood.
- Enter property square footage.
- Apply a condition adjustment (+ for updated, − for dated).
- Enter local days-on-market average and absorption rate.
- Optionally enter a seller net target to see the minimum list that hits it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's absorption rate?
Months of inventory = active listings ÷ monthly pace of sales. Under 3 months is a tight sellers' market; 4–6 is balanced; over 6 is a buyers' market. It's the cleanest single signal of pricing leverage.
Should I price above comps to leave negotiation room?
Rarely. Pricing right at or slightly below comps draws more traffic and often produces multiple offers that push final price above list. Pricing above comps creates immediate stale-listing problems.
How important is condition?
Very — buyers compare price per square foot against perceived condition. An updated kitchen and bathrooms add 5–15% over baseline comps. Deferred maintenance drops value 10–25%, plus slower sale.
What if the seller insists on a higher price?
Document comps carefully and warn that overpriced homes tend to sell 3–6% below comps after 45+ days on market. A 2-week review-and-adjust clause in the listing agreement keeps the option open.
