I would let recent value and sale numbers set the lane
If you want to sell in Seattle, WA without chasing the wrong number, I would keep your strategy tight. The recent typical estimated value was $845,900, but the recent typical closed price was $830,000, and that small difference is exactly why I would build your pricing plan carefully.
Recent numbers in Seattle, WA show a typical estimated value of $845,900 over the previous 30 days and a typical closed price of $830,000. I would use both, but not equally. The estimate helps frame the conversation, while the closed price tells me where buyers have actually committed. That difference is where sellers usually gain or lose leverage. Price too high and you risk forcing buyers to do the comparison for you. Price more deliberately and you make it easier for the market to understand your home on its own terms, especially when recent closings numbered 501 and there was enough activity to give price signals real weight. Choose a range you can support with recent sales. Decide before launch how long you are willing to wait for the right response. Do not hand buyers an easy pricing objection.
