Price it to match what buyers actually accepted recently
You are trying to decide if you can list high and still expect a clean contract. My rule in Conroe, TX right now is simple plan for negotiation, because recent offers landed at about 96.2% of asking last month.
One number to respect from recent closed activity is 96.2% of asking price last month. That is the practical signal that buyers in Conroe, TX have been getting price concessions or negotiating terms, rather than routinely paying full price. Fast matters, but not for every home. A typical sale took 69 days last month, so I do not price a listing as if it must sell in a weekend unless the condition, presentation, and price justify it. This changes your plan because list price and accepted price are not the same decision. Action step one set your asking price with a realistic negotiation cushion, not a hopeful stretch, because recent contracts tended to close below asking. Action step two build a timeline that can tolerate a longer marketing window and keep your home showing-ready, since the typical sale timeline was measured in weeks, not days. If you are also buying your next home, keep the same guardrails on both sides of the move the target you buy should be evaluated against what homes actually sold for recently, and your sale price should be anchored to recent closed pricing, not the highest active listing you can find.
