I use the recent spread between list and sale prices to keep expectations grounded.
If you want to sell for the strongest price in Murrieta, CA, I would avoid the trap of confusing confidence with overreaching. The best outcome usually comes from pricing that attracts action, not from stretching so far that buyers step back.
A typical asking price in Murrieta, CA was $700,000 over the previous 30 days, while a typical closed price was $697,000. Recent offers landed around 106% of asking, and the market still sat on the seller's side with 2.79 months of supply. That combination tells me sellers can be assertive, but the market is still drawing a line between strategic pricing and inflated pricing. When the typical asking and closed numbers are this close, I do not see support for adding a large cushion. In Murrieta, CA, the cleaner move is to price tightly enough to invite serious attention and let the market respond. Use recent closings as your base, then adjust for your home's condition and position. Avoid a launch price that depends on buyers ignoring the obvious. Be ready for the first two to three weeks to matter most, because a typical sale is taking 26 days and early momentum still drives results.
