A realistic way to judge the opening number
If you are thinking about listing in Fredericksburg, TX, I would not skip the price check. Last month, homes closed at 95.4% of asking, so the opening number still has to earn trust fast.
Last month in Fredericksburg, TX, homes closed at 95.4% of asking and the typical sale took 54 days. I read that as a market that still rewards realism, especially when the first price is under scrutiny.
For sellers, I would use that to set expectations before the home ever hits the market. The price has to be strong enough to attract attention and realistic enough to avoid an avoidable stall.
I would review the number carefully, watch the response early, and make a correction before momentum fades. In Fredericksburg, TX, that is how I would protect leverage.
