Here is the current inventory of condos for sale in the city of Placentia California.As of today, there are six condominiums for sale in Placentia priced from $500,000 for a two-bedroom one-bathroom built in 1971 to $899,999 for a three-bedroom three-bathroom built in 2021. The average price per square foot for these is $642.61. To put that in perspective, the average price per square foot for a house in Placentia right now is $622.84 which about 3% lower than the price of condominiums per square foot.

The Difficulty in Pricing a Home Accurately How Realtors Price Homes, A Quick Scenario with John, Rob & Judy  Realtor John Doe walks into 123 Main St. and sits down with Rob and Judy Brown.  Realtor John does a walkthrough of the home with the sellers, where he assesses the home for condition, upgrades, amenities, and is also secondarily assessing how the home "shows" (whether items need to be removed or if staging is needed).  John brings what most Realtors bring with them - paperwork to sign for listing the home (agreement and disclosures) as well as a detailed list of homes that have sold in Rob and Judy's neighborhood and nearby neighborhoods.  The "Comps" (short for "comparables" or "comparable homes") John uses usually have photos and always the specifications - Number of Bedrooms... 04/21/2017
