Prepared Exclusively for Gregory Dietz
A Purposeful Selling Strategy for Your 1.1-Acre Auburn Property
Gregory, following our recent conversation regarding your 1,390 sq ft home and 1.1-acre parcel, I have assembled this personalized guide to walk you through local market conditions, strategic positioning, and how we can maximize your net outcome without any pressure.
Your Questions, Answered
"Gregory asks: How do we determine the best listing price for a 1928 property on 1.1 acres?"
Celeste's Answer: Gregory, pricing a unique parcel like yours requires looking beyond automated online estimates. During our listing appointment, we will analyze recent sales of comparable acreage homes nearby, account for your property's specific condition and improvements, and establish a strategic pricing structure designed to spark competitive buyer interest while protecting your bottom line.
"Gregory asks: Do I need to make expensive repairs or updates before listing?"
Celeste's Answer: Not necessarily. My team and I focus on high-impact, cost-effective preparation. Through our complimentary cleaning and professional staging, we accent your home's best architectural features. During our consultation, I'll provide clear recommendations on what minor touch-ups are worth doing—and which ones you can safely skip to avoid unnecessary expenses.
"Gregory asks: What happens if I schedule a listing appointment and decide I'm not ready to sell yet?"
Celeste's Answer: That is completely okay! A listing appointment is an exploratory meeting to give you hard numbers, professional insights, and complete clarity. Booking an appointment does not commit you to putting your home on the market until you are 100% ready.
"Gregory asks: How does Sotheby's International Realty market my Auburn property?"
Celeste's Answer: We combine hyper-local targeting in King & Pierce counties with unmatched international syndication. We capture professional high-definition photography, aerial drone footage of your 1.1 acres, and a compelling lifestyle video story—placing your home directly in front of active, qualified buyers across digital, print, and broker networks.

Your Market Analysis
Gregory, the Auburn 98001 market—specifically properties featuring substantial lot acreage like your 1.1-acre parcel—occupies a unique niche in South King County. Buyers looking in this area heavily prioritize private outdoor space, mature greenery, and room to customize or expand.
With median pending timelines hovering around 30 days in your zip code, serious buyers are actively evaluating homes with character. Built in 1928, your 1,390 square foot 3-bedroom residence presents significant potential when showcased through proper staging and positioning.
While automated online estimates vary widely and cannot assess your parcel's physical condition or layout, recent verified neighborhood sales demonstrate that move-in ready homes with character and acreage consistently perform at premium price tiers when properly launched.
