What current list pricing means for your next move
If you are watching asking prices, I would not ignore the current gap between list and sold numbers. In Irvine, CA, last month's typical asking price was $1,780,000, while the typical sold price was $1,510,000.
Last month, Irvine, CA had a typical asking price of $1,780,000. The typical sold price was $1,510,000, so I would stay alert to how far a property is priced above the level buyers have recently accepted.
That gap can affect both leverage and speed. It tells me that pricing needs to be deliberate, and it tells buyers to stay disciplined when comparing homes.
Check the spread. Watch the first week closely. Use the closings as your anchor, not the asking price alone.
