Sellers can aim high, but recent accepted pricing still needs to lead the plan.
Every seller wants to know if they can push the price a little higher in East Elmhurst, NY. My answer is yes only when the home clearly earns it, because pending homes were typically priced at $912,000 while recent closings landed at $840,000 over the previous 30 days.
A pricing plan has to separate ambition from support. In East Elmhurst, NY, pending homes were typically priced at $912,000 recently, active homes at $925,000, and sold homes at $840,000. That gap leaves room for strong positioning, but not for unsupported optimism. I would be especially careful in a market with 5.5 months of supply and 33 active listings. Buyers can compare. That means the sellers who win are usually the ones whose price, condition, and presentation all tell the same story from the first day on market. Start from what the market is already accepting. Build your pricing case around condition, size, and layout before you ask for a premium. If your home does not clearly separate from the competition, price closer to the pending range than the hopeful range.
