The best pricing strategy is usually the one buyers understand immediately.
If you are unsure where your asking price should land, I would start with the market's current range instead of a hopeful stretch number. In Centennial Hills, NV, active homes were asking $384,999 last month, new listings came on at $395,000, and the typical sold price reached $401,000, which gives me a very usable frame for pricing decisions.
A realistic list price is one that feels defensible the moment a buyer compares your home to the current field. Last month, recent closings were coming in at 99% of asking and a typical sale took 35 days. That tells me the market is still willing to reward sellers, but mostly when the home enters with a number that feels justified. For a seller, I would use this setup to stay disciplined rather than aggressive. In Centennial Hills, NV, supply stood at 2.73 months and the market was labeled a seller's market, but that does not erase buyer judgment. New pending homes had a typical asking price of $381,000 and moved into contract in about 29 days. Buyers are active, and they are choosing. My job would be to make sure your home is among the listings that feel credible, not among the ones buyers save for later and never revisit. Start with the range buyers are already proving. Match the condition to the number you want to defend. When the market is closing near asking, I recommend pricing for a strong first response instead of planning for later reductions. That is a better way to protect both leverage and time.
