Last month, a typical sale closed at 96% of asking. That means the offer conversation in North Shore, VA still has to be grounded. Buyers should not expect to win every home with a low number, and sellers should not assume a strong first offer leaves no room for negotiation. I would use that to keep both sides focused on reality. A smart offer should line up with recent closings, and a strong list price should be backed by a strategy that can survive actual buyer response. Stay close to the evidence. Watch the reaction. Move only when the numbers support it.
