Salary expectations: how do you answer? after 11 years as an accountant

A recruiter asked for my salary expectations on a first call as I look for work as an accountant. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I looked up ranges in Toledo and they vary a lot. What did you say?

Check several sources for pay in Toledo, then pick a range where the low end is one you can live with.

Asking about the range for the role first worked for me. Some recruiters share it.
