Price sets the tone before anything else. Last month in Glen Allen, VA, the median sold price was $490,000, and that gives me a clear anchor for how the market was behaving.
When homes are closing close to asking and the typical sale still takes 20 days, pricing discipline matters more than optimism. I would use that fact to frame both offers and listing strategy. In Glen Allen, VA, the real question is not whether there is activity. It is whether your price lands in the range the market is already accepting. Compare before you commit. Watch the first response. Stay centered on value.
