- Strongest position to negotiate favorable terms & closing timeline

$429,000
$192 / sqft
Expected close: ~$416K – $421K
- Supported by closed comps — justified by size and system updates

$196 / sqft
Expected close: ~$426K – $431K
- Tests the ceiling — matching the highest closed 3-bed in the data

Key Talking Points
→9654 Waltham Ct — same bedroom count, 187 fewer sqft — went under contract at $415K in 5 days. With your updates and extra size, $429K is a logical step up.
→1930 Wilburn Park has sat 221 days at $425K with 2,725 sqft and a basement. That's a clear signal that buyers have set a ceiling on 3-bed perception in Highland Creek.
→Your roof, HVAC, and water heater are worth real money at inspection — buyers won't have to budget for them. That justifies the premium over homes sitting at $410K–$424K.
→Cox Mill Elem 9/10, Harris Road Middle 10/10 — schools continue to draw buyers to this pocket. A clean, updated home priced right will move.
