Set your price around what actually closed and how long it took.
You're trying to decide one thing do you price boldly, or do you price to win the first serious offer. My rule in Wade, NC is simple price to the market's current pace, not your best-case dream, because time is a cost you never get back.
If you only remember one closed number right now, make it this a typical sale in Wade, NC landed at 97.7% of asking last month, and a typical closed home took 68 days last month. That matters because pricing is not just about the final number, it's about momentum. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Still, when recent offers are coming in below asking and the typical timeline is measured in weeks, the plan needs to protect your leverage from day one. Start by anchoring your pricing conversation to what buyers have been paying plan for a range that respects that 97.7% of asking reality last month. Build your launch timeline around the typical 68-day sale window last month so you are not forced into reactive price cuts. If your target number requires a premium, earn it with cleaner terms and stronger presentation, then measure interest early and adjust before the market makes the decision for you.
