I would compare your home to the recent high end before stretching your price.
If you want to know whether your home can command top-dollar territory, I would compare it to the strongest recent closings before you decide. In Guilderland, NY, the highest closed price over the last three months was $999,500, and I would only chase that kind of number when the home clearly belongs in that tier.
Top-end pricing needs evidence behind it. Over the last three months in Guilderland, NY, the highest recently closed home sold for $999,500, while other closings landed at $975,000, $669,900, $395,000, $240,000, and $160,000. That tells me the market is rewarding very different property profiles. I would not push toward the top just because one closing reached it I would first ask whether your home's size, lot, age, and finish level genuinely line up. Match your home against the strongest recent sale on paper before you choose a price. Remove emotion from the number. In Guilderland, NY, the closer your evidence is, the safer your pricing posture becomes.
