A note on positioning · 2026-05-26

Where the market is pointing us next.

After 46 days, 15 showings, and the written feedback the cooperating agents kindly chose to share, the market is gently pointing toward a thoughtful next position for the listing.

The suggested position
$349,900
What we are hearing
  1. 1

    The home has welcomed 15 showings in 46 days with no offers written yet, and the last seven days have been quiet. Buyers walk through; the conversation each time tends to circle the price.

  2. 2

    Three different cooperating agents put a suggested price in writing: $350,000 · $325-350,000 · $330,000. The midpoint of those three is $340,000, and the closed comp math lands at $345,000.

  3. 3

    Pricing just under $350,000 introduces the listing to the largest active search bracket in 85711 right now · the buyers using "Under $350K" as their cap.

$343,000
5818 E 19th Street · 4 bed / 2 bath / 1,440 sf · pool · 1953

Same bedroom count, same era, same single-story slab, within half a percent on square footage. Sold $343,000 in 22 days back in January at $238.19/sf. Applied to our 1,433 sf and adjusted for the 100% sale-to-list ratio the subdivision is showing this spring.

Method 3 · Same-SF closed comp + feature premium
$345,000
5322 E Hawthorne Street · 3 bed / 2 bath / 1,472 sf · pool · 1960

Closest closed match on square footage, also pool. Sold $345,000 in April. Add the 4-bedroom premium, subtract the floor-plan friction the agents flagged in writing. The math lands inside the same band as the other two methods.

A kind note from a colleague at Long Realty
“He felt at $375k the property was overpriced with the work that needed to be done.”
· Richard Pesqueira, Long Realty · written feedback after the 4/17/2026 showing · suggested sales price in writing: $350,000.
04/17/2026 · Price feedback
He felt at $375k the property was overpriced with the work that needed to be done.

Suggested sales price in writing: $350,000. Client liked the kitchen and bathroom upgrades, liked the area, the pool was not a selling point for him, felt it needed a lot of finishing work.

Richard Pesqueira · Long Realty
04/23/2026 · Price feedback
The window from the eating area into the bedroom really kind of made it difficult to assess the rest of the house b/c it was so out of place.

Suggested sales price in writing: $325,000 to $350,000. Especially given the newer kitchen, the window quirk confused her buyers and they could not really think about much else.

Above Market Value · $330,000.

Agent preview only. Interior Fair, exterior Fair. Least appealing feature: Floor Plan / Design. Most appealing: Kitchen. Suggested sales price in writing: $330,000.

No specific suggested price written. A second Long Realty colleague reading the position the same way her two Long Realty teammates did, independently.

The activity picture

Fifteen showings, ten in the last thirty days, and a quiet last seven. In a healthy listing at the right number, this stretch tends to produce one or two early offers. The room is telling us something gentle but unmistakable.

A consistent message on price

Every cooperating agent who scored the price wrote "Above Market Value." Three of them put a specific number in writing: $330K, $325K to $350K, and $350K. The midpoint of those three is $340K.

A friendly second opinion

Three of our own Long Realty colleagues · Richard Pesqueira, Kelly Bradstreet, and Karmen Woodward · independently flagged the price as above market. Same brokerage as us, no axe to grind.

The kitchen is the win

Four of six agents named the kitchen as the most appealing feature. The marketing refresh after the reprice leads with the kitchen · a 60-second reel, fresh photo placement, and a kitchen-led MLS remarks rewrite.

My recommendation

$349,900

Not $359K. Not $364K. The specific number matters because real-estate search filters are bracketed at round numbers.

The search-filter bracket
$300K · $325K
$325K · $350K
$350K · $400K
$400K +

At $375,000, every buyer with a sub-$350K search filter has never seen this home. The $300K · $350K bracket is the largest active demographic in 85711 · the Long Realty Real-Time Market Report shows 369,774 online activities in the $300K · $499K band within five miles in the last 90 days. Crossing under $350,000 unlocks that pool in a single move. A trim to $364K does not. The move from $375K to $349,900 does.
