Overpricing is not a strategy, it is a hobby
If your home is about to hit the market in Wildomar, CA, you are probably debating how high is too high. My decisive answer avoid pricing like you are testing the universe, because the recent sold-to-asking behavior did not reward big stretches.
In January 2026, the clearest signal was 99.4% closed deals landed about 99.4% of asking in January 2026, and a typical sale took 41 days in January 2026. Where people get this wrong is treating list price like a wish, then acting shocked when the market answers with silence. Some metrics were not reported for this period, but when deals are closing around 99.4% of asking in January 2026, it tells me buyers were not routinely handing out big over-ask trophies. Set your price so it looks credible on day one, because January 2026 buyers typically paid about 99.4% of asking, not a premium for optimism. Plan your calendar for a typical 41-day sale pace in January 2026 so you are not making emotional decisions at day ten. If you want to test higher, do it with a tight plan and a quick course-correction window, not a long slow drift that trains buyers to wait you out in Wildomar, CA.
