A steady read on what asking prices are doing.
When you are looking at Tiverton, RI, the first thing I would check is whether asking prices are still aligned with recent closings. Last month, the median list price reached $730,000, and that is high enough to make price discipline a real issue.
I take that seriously because it changes how I frame both competition and negotiation. A higher ask does not guarantee a stronger result, and I would want every decision to be backed by a real comparison. For a seller, this is a reminder to price with intention, not pride. For a buyer, it is a reminder to stay anchored to the sold side, where the typical sale was $521,000 last month. Start with the gap between ask and sold. Use it to decide how firm your position should be. Then move only when the terms support the price.
