Yes, and the recent price spread is why.
If you are thinking about listing, precision matters more than optimism right now. Last month, the median list price was $1,162,500 and the median sold price was $1,054,033, so the market still rewards sellers who price with care in Thousand Oaks, CA.
That gap is useful because it sets a realistic expectation for launch. It tells me a higher list price does not automatically translate into a higher closing price, even when sales are still landing at 100.1% of asking on average.
I would use that to stay disciplined from the beginning. A seller who leads with a clean number, solid condition, and a realistic response plan is in a much better position than one who hopes the market will do the correcting later.
Price to the likely outcome. Watch feedback before you wait too long. Adjust quickly if the market resists.
