A straightforward read on the current list side.

If you want a quick way to judge the list side of the market, I would start with the current asking price benchmark. Last month, the typical active list price was $419,950 in Botetourt County, VA, and that is the number I would keep in mind before I take the next step.
Last month, the typical active list price was $419,950 in Botetourt County, VA. I look at that against the $394,500 sold figure because it tells me how much room the market is allowing between asking and closing. That matters when supply is at 2.61 months and homes are still closing at 95.7% of asking. It tells me price is still the main lever, and it needs to be handled with care. Use $419,950 as your first comparison point. Then check whether the home fits the $394,500 closing side of the market. Finally, decide whether the current price feels disciplined enough for Botetourt County, VA.
