Why the current price spread matters before you make a move.
When you are deciding how to price a home, the real question is whether the market will support your number or force a correction later. In Westlake Village, CA, last month's median list price was $2,095,000 while the median sold price was $1,775,000, and that gap is worth paying attention to.
The median sold price came in at $1,775,000, so I would not treat pricing as a place to guess. I would treat it as the first decision that shapes everything else. For Westlake Village, CA sellers, that spread tells me the first asking number has to earn attention. If a home starts too high, the market gives very little room for a soft launch. Price with a plan. Watch the first reaction closely. Be ready to adjust early if activity does not match the position you wanted.
