I would look at active pricing, new listing pricing, and recent sale results before choosing an opening number.
If you are tempted to push your asking price because the market still favors sellers, I would slow that thought down. In Whitney Ranch, NV, recent offers were coming in at 99% of asking, but the typical closed price was still $396,500 last month, and that is the number buyers ultimately validated.
Active homes carried a typical asking price of $474,900, while new listings came out at $464,900. The market held 4 months of supply, which gives sellers room to negotiate from strength, but not room to ignore what buyers have already been willing to close on. The practical takeaway is simple. In Whitney Ranch, NV, confidence works best when it is paired with evidence, because a strong list price can hold if the home earns it, but an unsupported premium is more likely to create drag than better terms. Start from the recent sale range, then adjust for your home's strengths. Watch competing active homes closely. Price to attract your best buyer early instead of hoping repeated reductions will do the job later.
