I am reading the gap between asking and closing.

Last month, Troy, NY showed a $285,000 median list price and a $260,000 median sold price. I would use that spread to stay disciplined, because it is the clearest reminder that the first price has to earn its keep. I would not assume the market will close the gap for me. I would make the offer or the listing price work from the start, then I would watch how quickly the market confirms or rejects it. Anchor the number early. Watch the spread closely. Let the response guide the next move.
