Anchor your plan to what sellers were asking recently
You're deciding how aggressive you can be on price without getting stuck on the market. My rule of thumb is to start with what buyers are actually choosing from, and recently the typical asking price for active listings was $3,743,250 in The Woodlands, TX.
If you only remember one pricing anchor right now, make it this the typical asking price for active listings was $3,743,250 recently in The Woodlands, TX for single-family homes and condos/townhomes. The practical impact is that your list price has to earn attention against what is already available. Supply was also reported at 7.69 months recently, which supports a careful, buyer-aware pricing posture. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Action steps I recommend before you pick a number decide what story your home is going to tell in the first 10 seconds of a showing, then fix anything that undercuts it, because buyers with options will move on fast. Next, set your launch price and terms to compete with the broader field of active homes near that $3,743,250 typical ask, rather than only comparing yourself to one or two properties. One more thing results like "how close to asking offers landed" and a typical sale timeline were not reported in the summary, so I will not pretend we can price by feel. In The Woodlands, TX, I would rather you price with a defensible plan and clean terms than chase a number that looks good on paper and costs you time.
