A better way to sort homes before you tour

When I am helping someone evaluate homes in Houston, TX, I start with whether the price still fits the market. Last month, a typical sold price was $319,000, so that is the number I would keep in view first.
Last month, a typical sold price was $319,000, and homes were selling at 97% of asking. That gives me a practical filter for deciding whether a property is priced with discipline or not. I also look at the 29-day sale timeline because pace changes how I frame decisions. In Houston, TX, a home that sits longer needs a stronger reason to hold its price. Compare every home to the $319,000 typical sold price. Use the 97% of asking pace to judge flexibility. Treat a 29-day sale timeline as a real planning factor.
