Homes closed at 98.39% of asking last month. That is close enough to list to matter, but not so close that pricing mistakes disappear. I would use that as a reminder to price carefully and watch early feedback. In Gilbert, AZ, I would also keep the 30-day typical sale pace in mind so the listing does not sit while the market decides for you. Launch with confidence, but keep a close eye on response in the first stretch. Then adjust with intent if the home is not drawing the right attention.
