What the current price range is really telling you.
If you are comparing homes right now, I would pay close attention to the asking side of the market. Last month, the typical active list price was $419,950 in Botetourt County, VA, and that gives me a useful starting point for deciding whether a property is priced with the market or against it.
Last month, the typical active list price was $419,950 in Botetourt County, VA. I treat that as a real benchmark, not a decoration, because it shapes how buyers respond and how long a home may need to wait for the right offer.
I also keep the 2.61 months of inventory number in front of me. When supply is sitting there, price discipline matters, and homes that drift too far above the market can lose momentum fast.
Compare every asking price to $419,950. Then check whether the home still fits the 95.7% sold-to-list pattern. After that, decide whether the current strategy is strong enough for Botetourt County, VA.
