I would price for today's competition, not for the most optimistic number on paper.
If you are wondering whether this is a good time to come to market, the answer depends on how realistic you are with pricing from day one. In Red Rock Country Club, NV, recent active homes were centered around $2,094,500, while new listings entered at a typical price of $2,174,999, so the first decision is not whether to list - it is how to position correctly.
Last month, 12 new listings came to market in Red Rock Country Club, NV, and the typical new listing was priced at $2,174,999. Recent supply stood at 5.2 months, which is balanced, not desperate. A typical sale closed at $2,050,000, and offers were landing at 87.8% of asking. I would not read that as a signal to aim high and hope. I would read it as a signal to launch with discipline. The sellers who usually lose time are the ones chasing a number that buyers are not validating. In this market, a typical sale took 120 days last month, which is long enough to punish overpricing. At the same time, there were 11 homes already in pending status at the end of the month, so demand is still there when a property meets the market properly. Price against current competition, not old expectations. Study the homes already pending, because they show what is getting accepted. Prepare for a clean launch with strong presentation and a firm opening strategy. If the response is soft early, adjust fast instead of protecting a number that is not producing offers.
