Buying and selling it

When considering a purchase, comparing current asks against recent sold comps is crucial. If the current asking prices are significantly higher than the established sold median, it may be wise to wait for a better listing. For sellers, listing tips should focus on accurately representing the condition and completeness of your copy to attract the right buyer.
