Know what the market tends to reward, not just what it shows
You're deciding what number to trust when you see a home listed online. In Blanchard, OK, I put more weight on recent closed prices than asking prices when you are setting expectations.
If you only remember one closed data point right now, make it this a typical sold price was $337,500 last month in Blanchard, OK. This changes your plan because a typical list price for active homes was $384,900 last month, and that spread can mislead buyers into thinking the closing bar is higher than it has been. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Use $337,500 as your reality check for what a typical home closed for last month, then decide what premium you will pay for your must-have features. When you tour, ask whether the home's asking price is supported by recent offers landing around 100% of asking, or whether it is positioned above the lane of typical closings. If you need a predictable timeline, remember a typical sale took 77 days last month and plan your moving dates accordingly.
