The gap between list and sold price is the clue

If you want buyers to take a home seriously, the opening price has to make sense. In Cranston, RI, last month's list price was $549,450 and sold price was $427,508, and I would not ignore that spread.
That spread is the most useful clue in the market right now. In Cranston, RI, it tells me the first pricing decision matters just as much as the home itself. I would use the sold benchmark to pressure-test any list price before it goes live. I would also keep the 28-day sale pace in mind, because a weak opening can cost you valuable time. Set the number with intent. Present the home well. Then let the market respond to a price buyers can actually work with.
