Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 2 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales.

The MOUNT OLIVE HEIGHTS buying strategy.
If we were buying in MOUNT OLIVE HEIGHTS today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in MOUNT OLIVE HEIGHTS.
