The typical list price was $259,450 last month. That is the level I would use when comparing active homes, because it helps expose where a property is clearly positioned and where it is asking more than the market has been showing. For buyers, that makes comparisons more honest. For sellers, it is a reminder that price has to make sense before the first showing, not after the first week. Compare active homes against that price band. Resist the urge to stretch simply because a property looks good on paper. And if you are planning a sale, make your number defensible from day one.
