Karen,

When I do Broker Price Opinions for my bank clients some of the things I  look for when providing them comparable homes to theirs are:

Ones with similar +/- 15% GLA (gross living area) or finished sq ft
Similar no of bdrms, baths and total rooms
Similar location
Similar condition overall
Garage type/size
and lastly I keep the comps in the same school district/city AND within a 1/4-1/2mi radius for city locations and under a 2-3mi radius for rural locations if possible.

I hope that helps a bit. If you have more specific questions I'd be happy to help-you can send me email anytime.

Good luck to you!
Dawn

Michele,

You can always ask a local agent to help you find comparables regarding your property. You can also view my home finder at http://www.livingstonsells.com. Here you can search for other homes that are located in Livingston County, that have similar characteristics as your home to give you an idea of what is selling. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions as I am located in Brighton. I hope to hear from you.

You can ask a local agent for a market analysis.  If you would prefer not to speak to an agent at this time you can look at local agent or Realtor websites as most have a search feature.  Search for homes in your area with similar characteristics to get an idea of what the competition is selling for.
