In this short commentary, the speaker evaluates a house’s listing price by using price‑per‑square‑foot as the primary metric. They note that the current active listings average $427 per square foot, which is high for a home of that age. The speaker contrasts these listings with two recently sold properties on the same street, highlighting that the lowest‑priced sold home was $383,000 and, despite being 800 sq ft larger, had a lower per‑square‑foot cost.
