Just over a month ago we launched our latest price-guessing contest: Guess the Price Round 8: Wallingford Craftsman<\/a>. Thirty readers made guesses this round before the home went pending.<\/p>\n

\"3724<\/a>Today’s “Guess the Price” guest star is 3724 Corliss Ave N<\/a> in the southern third of North Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood, close to the Burke-Gilman Trail and Gasworks Park.<\/p>\n

This round’s home hit the market on Tuesday with an asking price of $599,950<\/strong>.
\n…
\nOur home this month is not bank-owned, a short sale, or a flip. It sits in Wallingford, where the median price of single-family homes sold in August was $682,000.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Your guesses ranged from $469,999 to $650,000. The average price guessed was $595,317, and the median guess was $599,950. Here’s the plot of all the guesses, with the final close price & date marked in green:<\/p>\n

\"Price<\/div>\n

According to the NWMLS, the home sold on October 29 (just five weeks after listing), with a closing price of $620,000<\/strong>. The closest guess was a dead-on guess of $620,000 by SeattleJo. Congratulations!<\/p>\n

Here’s the difference between the average guess and the final sale price in our contests so far:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Your guesses were 2.2% lower<\/em> than the sale price.<\/li>\n
  2. Your guesses were 5.5% higher<\/em> than the sale price.<\/li>\n
  3. Your guesses were 10.5% lower<\/em> than the sale price.<\/li>\n
  4. Your guesses were 10.0% higher<\/em> than the sale price.<\/li>\n
  5. Your guesses were 2.8% higher<\/em> than the sale price.<\/li>\n
  6. Your guesses were 2.4% lower<\/em> than the sale price.<\/li>\n
  7. Your guesses were 13.6% higher<\/em> than the sale price.<\/li>\n
  8. Your guesses were 4.0% lower<\/em> than the sale price.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After going way too optimistic on the last one, the crowd slightly underestimated this time around.<\/p>\n

    Stay tuned in the next few weeks, when we’ll kick off another round of Guess the Price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
