Sold | Southfield, Michigan
This home in the Plum Hollow Woods subdivision was successfully sold in 2021 for $300,000, exceeding the list price of $275,000 after receiving 26 competing offers. Even more notable, the sellers achieved a sale $40,000 higher than what they paid just two years earlier, demonstrating the power of strategic pricing, marketing, and execution in Southfield.
The winning buyer waived the inspection and offered an appraisal guarantee of up to $25,000, yet through a deliberate appraisal strategy, the home fully appraised at the contract price — even with FHA financing — allowing the transaction to close smoothly with zero seller concessions.
