Recent closings give sellers a better anchor than competing wish lists.
If you are selling, the first pricing decision usually shapes everything that comes after it. In Fontana, CA, I would anchor that decision to recent closings before I would let active competition set the tone.
Here is why. Over the previous 30 days, the typical asking price was $669,900, but the typical closed price was $620,000 in Fontana, CA. A typical sale took 26 days, and recent offers averaged 100.2% of asking, so the market still supports strong listings, but it does not excuse inflated expectations. That difference between asking and closing is where strategy lives. Supply was 2.54 months recently, which tells me sellers still have an advantage, yet buyers are clearly comparing value and pushing back when a number misses the mark. I would rather enter strong than spend weeks proving I asked too much. Use recent closed prices as your main reference point. Make the home look clean, current, and easy to say yes to before it goes live. If the response is slower than expected, solve the issue quickly instead of waiting for the market to do the work for you.
