I would let recent pending activity guide your launch, not old comps alone.
If you are afraid of pricing too high and then correcting downward later, I would focus on the homes already attracting offers right now. In Rhodes Ranch, NV, 60 homes moved into pending status over the previous 30 days at a typical asking price of $506,450, which gives sellers a cleaner reference point than hope.
Pending activity is the bridge between asking and closing. In Rhodes Ranch, NV over the previous 30 days, 60 homes went pending, and they did it at a typical asking price of $506,450 with a typical contract timeline of 25 days. That tells me buyers are engaging, but they are not engaging everywhere equally. For sellers, that is a useful warning and a useful opportunity. Active homes were priced at a typical $529,000, so there is a visible difference between the homes still available and the homes buyers are moving toward. I would rather launch close to the winning range than start above it and hope for a correction later. Review the current pending band before choosing your number. Prepare the home to justify a strong first impression the moment it goes live. Watch competing new listings closely during launch week. Price to attract action, not just attention.
