Recent asking prices and closed prices tell a useful story if you are deciding how to come to market.
If you want to know where to price your home right now, start by separating what sellers hope for from what buyers have recently accepted. In Clinton Township, MI, the recent numbers point to a market that still rewards strong pricing discipline, not guesswork.
Looking at recent closed activity, a typical home sold for $295,000, while the typical new asking price was $309,900 and the typical pending asking price was $315,000. Active homes carried a typical asking price of $294,500, and recent offers landed at 99.5% of asking. That mix tells me pricing is not one-size-fits-all. The higher typical asking levels on new and pending homes suggest sellers are still reaching for strong numbers, but the closed figure gives the clearest anchor for an owner trying to protect proceeds without stalling the listing. In Clinton Township, MI, I would treat the recent sold number as the floor of the conversation and then adjust from there based on condition, presentation, and how directly your home competes with the 71 active properties recently on the market. Pull your list price from the range supported by actual closings. Compare your house to current active competition before finalizing the number. Improve the rooms that shape first impressions. Keep the first week sharp, because that is when pricing errors show up fastest.
