Choose a plan that attracts offers, not just views.
You are trying to decide which list price strategy gives you the best chance to close on your timeline. My answer assume negotiation, because typical closed sales landed around 95.55% of asking last month. In Paradise Valley, AZ, the best strategy is the one that creates enough urgency to bring real buyers to the table early.
Looking at the latest numbers, the clearest signal was 95.55% was the typical list-to-sale outcome last month. Supply measured 9.06 months, and a typical sale took 80 days. That matters because your list price is not the finish line, it is the starting line for negotiation. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Still, with 9.06 months of supply and buyers typically closing below asking, the smartest sellers position the home so the first offers are close enough to negotiate, not so far away that buyers disengage. Pick a list price that you can defend and that still leaves buyers feeling they can win. Align your move timeline with the recent 80-day typical closing pace so you can negotiate without panic. Decide now how you will handle an offer that is below asking but clean, because last month many buyers still landed under list.
