I am focusing on where the market is actually closing.

A smart price-range decision in Richmond, VA starts with the sold side, not the wish side. Last month, the median sold price was $424,950, and that is the number I would use to ground the conversation.
When the typical closed price is clear, it becomes easier to sort out what fits and what does not. Richmond, VA is giving enough signal for me to stay disciplined. The 17-day sale timeline adds another layer of urgency. A home that is even slightly off target may not stay available long enough for a second look. Use recent sold prices as your anchor. Decide your limits before you tour. Keep the search focused on realistic options.
