Why close attention to asking price still pays off.
If you are trying to judge price pressure in Coventry, RI, the clearest clue is how closely homes are landing to asking. Last month, homes sold at 99.1% of list price, so I would not treat pricing as a soft detail right now.
Last month, homes sold at 99.1% of asking, which tells me price discipline still matters in Coventry, RI. The gap between listed price and closed price is small enough that thoughtful pricing and thoughtful offers can make a real difference. For a buyer, I would use that as a reason to be precise rather than casual. For a seller, I would treat it as a reminder that overreaching on price can slow momentum, especially when the market is giving you only a narrow margin. Watch the 99.1% close-to-list figure. Set your target before you engage. Stay realistic if you want the conversation to move forward.
