The recent gap between list prices and closed prices deserves your attention
If you want to sell without sitting on the market longer than necessary, I would keep your pricing close to what buyers have actually been paying. In Waller County, TX, the typical active asking price was $429,990 recently, while the typical closed price was $308,995.
That price gap is the first thing I would study before putting a house on the market. In Waller County, TX, the typical active asking price was $429,990 recently, while the typical closed price was $308,995 and accepted offers averaged 92.2% of asking. For sellers, that does not mean you cannot aim high within reason. It means the market is already showing where buyers are drawing the line. When list prices stretch too far away from recent closings, time on market becomes part of the cost. Review recent closings in your price band before setting your number. Decide in advance how much negotiation room you want to leave. Anchor your strategy to where deals are closing, not just where listings are starting.
