How Do I Choose the Right Listing Price for My Manhasset Home?

Conversational Question: How do I choose the right listing price for my Manhasset home?
Answer: The right price depends on market data, your home’s condition, and local buyer demand. With Eric Berman REALTOR’s expert pricing strategy, you’ll position your home to attract strong offers without leaving money on the table.

Why Pricing Matters More Than Ever

In Manhasset’s luxury market—where the median home value is around $1.7M–$1.8M—getting the price right from the start can mean the difference between a quick sale and a listing that lingers. Overpricing can stall interest, while underpricing risks missing your full value potential.

Eric Berman REALTOR uses real-time MLS data, Compass analytics, and local expertise to pinpoint your home’s ideal price range.

Step 1: Start With a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)

A CMA compares your home to similar properties currently on the market, recently sold, or pending in neighborhoods like Plandome, Munsey Park, and Strathmore.

Key factors include:

• Square footage

• Lot size and location

• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

• Renovation level and age of systems

• Time on market for comparable homes

Eric reviews both sold and unsold comps to understand what the market values—and rejects.

Step 2: Understand Buyer Psychology

• Buyers Search by Price Brackets: For example, many Manhasset buyers filter searches under $2M.

• Emotional Triggers Matter: A competitively priced home feels like an opportunity.

• Overpricing Hurts Exposure: Listings that sit for more than 45 days often lose momentum and attract low offers.

Eric’s strategy positions your home within the most active buyer range while maintaining room for negotiation.

Step 3: Factor in Market Conditions

• Balanced Market: Price near recent comps.

• Seller’s Market: You can price slightly higher, given strong demand.

• Buyer’s Market: Pricing competitively helps stand out.

As of 2025, Manhasset remains relatively balanced, with steady demand from NYC relocations and limited inventory.

Step 4: Evaluate Condition and Presentation

Well-maintained, staged homes command premium pricing.

• A renovated kitchen or updated bathrooms can justify higher pricing.

• Deferred maintenance, old roofs, or dated finishes may require adjusting expectations.

Eric provides pre-listing consultation to identify improvements that increase value before pricing.

Step 5: Consider Timing and Competition

Seasonality affects pricing power:

• Spring listings see the most activity.

• Summer and fall bring steady but slightly softer competition.

Eric tracks weekly absorption rates—the ratio of active listings to recent sales—to recommend the best pricing window.

Step 6: Use Data, Not Emotion

Many sellers price based on what they “need” to net, but the market sets value.
Eric’s transparent, data-driven process ensures your price reflects what buyers will actually pay, not just what’s hoped for.

Common Pricing Mistakes to Avoid

• Overpricing based on upgrades buyers won’t pay for.

• Ignoring micro-market differences (Munsey Park vs. Strathmore values vary).

• Chasing the market downward with repeated price cuts.

• Relying solely on Zillow estimates—they often miss local nuances.
