Recent closings can show whether waiting for a higher number is a strategy or a gamble.
If you are wondering whether to hold out for more on your Normandy Park, WA home, I would tie that decision to recent closings instead of hope. A seller can aim high, but the price still has to make sense against what buyers actually closed on lately.
Over the previous 30 days, a typical closed price was $1,279,750, and over the last 3 months the typical closed level was $1,278,873 across 10 sales. When those two reference points sit this close together, I see a cleaner picture of where recent deals have been landing. The wide 3-month range from $175,000 to $4,500,000 tells me that some homes can command much more, but only if they truly live in that category. I would not recommend using the very top closing as proof that every seller in Normandy Park, WA should simply wait for a premium offer. Set your asking price from the recent center of the market first. Then decide what specific features justify any premium you want. If you cannot explain that premium clearly, tighten the number before the market does it for you.
