VALUATION METHODOLOGY

The subject property last sold for $177,500 in August 2023 as an off-market transaction. Applying Wisconsin's ~5.6% annual appreciation over 2.5 years yields a baseline of ~$198,000. Paired with the nearest active comp (916 Diagonal St at $224,900), the estimated range is $195,000 – $215,000.

PRICE PER SQ FT

At $177,500 for 2,176 sq ft, the home sold at ~$82/sqft — well below the zip code average of $131/sqft. This discount suggests either deferred maintenance or a motivated seller, and represents meaningful upside for the current owner.

MARKET POSITION

The 53543 zip has a median listing price of ~$199,917 with only 23 homes sold in the past 12 months. Thin supply keeps this a seller's market. The subject property's larger square footage positions it above the zip median.

Level 1

Basic MLS Listing

The Typical Agent Option

3% Commission
"Most agents simply list homes in the MLS and wait for buyers to appear. This option does exactly that — but with someone who actually knows what they're doing."

Plain English

Your home goes online where buyers are already looking. No extra marketing. No campaigns. Just exposure. Sometimes that's all it takes.

Advantages

Best for:

Sellers who need to move quickly

Repairs & Prep

Minimal prep expected. Basic cleaning and decluttering recommended. Buyer may negotiate repairs after inspection.

Watch Out For

Requires ~4–8 weeks patience

Best for:

Most sellers — recommended

Repairs & Prep

Pre-listing deep clean, touch-up paint, and minor repairs recommended for optimal sale price. Consider a pre-inspection to get ahead of buyer concessions.

Tier 3

List High / Test Market

$224,900

Est. Days

60–90+ days

Est. Net

~$207,000

Advantages

Highest ceiling price
Tests market appetite

Watch Out For

Longest time on market
Carrying costs erode gains
Requires move-in-ready condition

Best for:

Sellers with time & pristine condition

Repairs & Prep

Move-in-ready condition required. Full pre-listing inspection, all deferred maintenance addressed, professional staging, and curb appeal improvements needed to justify the premium price.

THE KEY INSIGHT

Listing high at $224,900 and listing at the recommended $204,900 both typically land within $1,000–$5,000 of each other after negotiation. But the high-list path adds 30–60+ extra days on market. At ~$50/day in carrying costs (mortgage, taxes, utilities, insurance), those extra weeks easily erase the price difference — and then some.

WHAT AFFECTS YOUR NET?

Commission

Ranges from 3% (Level 1) to 4% (Level 3). Higher commission = more marketing = potentially higher sale price.

Days on Market

Every extra month costs ~$400–600 in carrying costs (taxes, utilities, insurance). Pricing right saves money.

Inspection & Repairs

Pre-listing inspection can identify issues early, giving you control over repair costs vs. buyer concessions.

Seasonal Timing

Wisconsin homes sold in June–August command a 6.4% premium vs. winter sales. Spring listing is ideal.
