However, Redmond buyers are currently paying a significant premium for turnkey, move-in-ready properties. In our formal CMA report, recent comparable townhomes that underwent comparable interior transformations (flooring, painted cabinets, updated baths) closed in under 14 days at up to $587 per square foot.

What Recent Sales Tell Us About Your Home
From Celeste’s reviewed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA-16422 NE 91st St, dated November 5, 2026). Here are the three most relevant townhome comparables directly informing our pricing strategy.

Currently active asking $699,000 at 131 days on market. Highlights why intentional positioning, launch timing, and turnkey presentation are crucial to avoiding market fatigue.
Key Strategic Takeaways for 16422 NE 91st St Unit #104:
- 1.Upgraded finishes command premium pricing: Homes with new luxury vinyl plank flooring, modern paint, and renewed cabinetry achieved $580–$587/sqft and closed in under two weeks.
- 2.Your post-renovation scope bridges the gap: While un-renovated baseline units reflect the The market analysis range we discussed of $562,200 – $700,000, your current improvements position us to test the top tier above $750,000.
- 3.Launch timing avoids stale days on market: Active comparable #2534078 has languished 131 days at $699K because of inconsistent presentation. Coordinated launch timing by month-end ensures urgent buyer competition.
