The market is still asking for discipline.
Offer pressure is easier to read when you focus on what homes are actually selling for. In East Providence, RI, the typical sale closed at 99.8% of asking last month, and that is the starting point I would use.
Last month, offers in East Providence, RI landed at 99.8% of asking on typical sales. I treat that as a sign that buyers are still willing to stay close to list price when the home is priced in line with the market. That matters because the typical sale price was $431,217, while the typical asking price was $497,499. I would not build a plan around wishful pricing I would build it around the spread the market is already showing. My first move is to look at the asking price in context. My second move is to keep negotiation expectations realistic. East Providence, RI is still giving sellers room to compete, but it is not forgiving sloppy pricing.
