SECTION 02 · THE THREE PATHS
Same home. Three prices. Three different stories to the buyer pool.
Each path has a different signal. Velocity is off the table · net falls below your $350K floor. The decision is between Strategic and Aggressive.
BELOW FLOOR
PATH A
Velocity
$375,000$218 / sqft
NET TO YOU~$346,875
Move it fast. Compete on price.
BEST WHEN
A hard date in Colorado.
RISK
$13K of upside left for 7 · 14 days of speed. Net falls $3,125 below your $350K floor.
REASONING
Below the closed-comp average ($229/sqft). Captures the financing-buyer ceiling and the cash-buyer floor at the same time. Fast pool but underprices the casita + reno.
RECOMMENDED
PATH B
Strategic
$389,000$226 / sqft
NET TO YOU~$359,825
Priced where the data lands.
BEST WHEN
Default. Most listings should be priced here.
RISK
Standard market risk. Adjust at day 14 if 8+ showings produce zero offers.
REASONING
Closed median × 1,717 sqft = $393,158. Strategic sits $4,158 below the data center, with reno + casita + 4th-BR conversion premium baked in. Captures both 3BR and 4BR search filters.
PATH C
Aggressive
$399,000$232 / sqft
NET TO YOU~$369,075
Test the $400K psychological ceiling.
BEST WHEN
You can give the listing 14 · 21 days at this number with discipline to drop if needed.
RISK
If we sit 21 days with no offer, drop to $389K. 2022 S Faye at 61 DOM and 2042 S Faye cancelled at $380K signal 4BR east-side absorption above $375K is slow.
REASONING
$30K above the closest active 4BR competitor (2022 S Faye Pl at $369,900). Premium matches pool + casita + 2026 reno. Below the $400K psychological ceiling.
SECTION 04 · PRICE-VS-TIME TRADEOFF
What another two weeks of patience is worth.
Two spreads frame the decision. The premium between paths is real money · but every step up adds market days and adjustment risk. Strategic is the conservative read on the data; Aggressive is the optimistic read.
+$12,950
Velocity → Strategic
$13K more net for 7 · 14 more days on market. The Velocity tier is dead because of your floor anyway, so this gap is academic.
+$9,250
Strategic → Aggressive
$9K more net for 14 · 21 more days on market and a non-trivial chance of needing to drop. Worth the test if you do not have a hard date.
