Flycatcher Way Townhome Closed at $435K

This transaction began in early December with a single phone call from a client who found us through Google reviews. The client wanted to sell their townhome, and we scheduled our first meeting at the property the very next day.

The home was located in a community directly across from where I live, which gave me a strong understanding of the area. One of its biggest advantages was the highly convenient location. In addition, the townhome was part of a single-family home community with only 12 townhome units, making it a rare opportunity. The HOA fee was $270 per month, which included the master policy and roof replacement—an especially attractive feature for buyers.

Built in 2008, the home offers approximately 2,338 square feet of living space. Compared to newer townhomes, it felt more spacious and similar to a single-family home. The seller had already upgraded the backsplash and installed LVP flooring on the first floor, which gave the home a good overall impression. However, there were a few areas where the finishing details could be improved. After recommending and completing minor touch-ups, we proceeded with the listing.

Although the updates were completed in January, we strategically waited and listed the property on February 19 at $440,000, considering market timing. Since it was still before the peak spring season, showing activity was somewhat slower than expected.

About 10 days after listing, we received an offer of $410,000 with an April closing. We declined this offer strategically. A second offer came in still below the list price, so we countered at $435,000. The buyer accepted, and we successfully went under contract.

The transaction closed on April 20 at a final price of $435,000 with no closing cost contribution. It was a clean and satisfying closing for both the seller and the buyer.

There were three key factors behind the success of this deal. First, timing—inventory was relatively low when we listed, which reduced competition. Second, rarity—the property was one of only 12 townhomes in the community, limiting comparable options. Third, pricing strategy—new townhomes in the same school district were priced around $470K, making this listing highly competitive.

This was not a case of lowering the price to make a sale, but rather a strategic approach that protected the property’s value. Most importantly, the seller expressed their intention to work with us again when purchasing their next home, which made this transaction especially meaningful.
