Why the opening week matters so much
For a seller in East Greenwich, RI, the first response can tell you almost everything you need to know. Last month, a typical sale took 18 days, so the opening week deserves real attention.
The median sold price was $600,000 last month, while the median list price stood at $875,000. That spread makes it clear that the market is paying close attention to value before it commits.
For a seller, I would watch the first wave of interest carefully and avoid waiting too long to react. For a buyer, the same pattern helps explain why some homes may require quicker decisions than others.
I would launch cleanly, track feedback early, and adjust your plan if the market response is not as strong as expected.
