There's not much inventory on the market like your property. Because of this, I would suggest you list your property "As Is" and let the offers come in, then you can decide which one to pick from. This situation could work in your favor, as we can list your property in the price range from $425,000 - $450,000, attract multiple showings, and hopefully create a competitive bidding environment. The best way to find our sweet spot is to present it to serious buyers to gauge their offers. Once we launch on the market, we can assess our approach after one week to see if our pricing is on point, ensuring we maximize your returns.
To accelerate the sale, we must engage genuinely interested buyers. This can be accomplished by listing on the MLS, promoting through top local brokers' sites, and directly contacting their clients via email.
I recommend starting with this price. If we don't receive any viewings or favorable offers in the next few weeks, we can reevaluate our pricing strategy.
Provided below is the expected price range for selling your property.
Naturally, this is merely a ballpark figure and may fluctuate higher or lower, depending on any refurbishing or enhancements you've made to make the property market-ready.

To estimate the current market value of a property in Waterbury, CT based on a $4,500 per month rental income, we can use the Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM) method and the Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate) method.
### Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM) Method:
The GRM is a simple way to estimate property value based on its gross rental income. Typical GRM ranges are:
• Low-end GRM: 8
• Mid-range GRM: 10
• High-end GRM: 12
*Annual Gross Rent*: $4,500 x 12 = $54,000
*Estimated Property Values*:
• Low-end: $54,000 x 8 = $432,000
• Mid-range: $54,000 x 10 = $540,000
• High-end: $54,000 x 12 = $648,000
### Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate) Method:
The Cap Rate is the ratio of net operating income to property value. Typical cap rates for residential rentals range from 4% to 10%. For this estimation, we'll use a 6% cap rate.
Assuming operating expenses are 40% of gross rent:
*Net Operating Income*: $54,000 x 0.6 = $32,400
*Property Value*: Net Operating Income / Cap Rate
• $32,400 / 0.06 = $540,000
### Market Comparison:
The average home value in Waterbury, CT is $255,638. A property generating $4,500 in monthly rent is likely above average, so we expect its value to be higher.
### Conclusion:
Based on these methods, a reasonable estimate for the current market value of a newly renovated property generating $4,500 in monthly rental income in Waterbury, CT is in the range of $540,000 to $600,000.
Best,
