I would plan your listing around how long homes are taking to move and where buyers are landing on price.
If you are deciding whether you can test the market with a high number, I would look at timing before anything else. In Banning, CA, a typical sale took 35 days recently, which tells me buyers are active but still selective.
The recent setup in Banning, CA gives sellers a useful standard. Supply stood at 3.8 months, recent offers averaged 98.9% of asking, and the typical asking price was $415,000. That combination tells me the market can support a good listing, but it still rewards sellers who are realistic from day one. Days on market are not just a timing stat. They affect leverage. When homes are taking about a month to move, buyers tend to watch how a listing performs in its first stretch, and a price that misses the mark can weaken your position faster than many sellers expect. In Banning, CA, I would rather enter cleanly than chase the market after a slow start. Prepare the home before it goes live. Set the price with recent closes in mind, not just active competition. Watch early showing activity closely and respond fast if the market tells you the number is off.
