How to compare a home
Price per square foot is a comparison tool, not a price. Lot, condition, finishes, floor plan and location move it more than any single average, so compare a home with the closest recent sales and ask what is different. Every buyer and seller in Fresno is weighing a different set of trade-offs, and waiting to decide is often the costliest choice.
