Why the first price still carries the most weight

When I talk with a seller, the first question is whether the opening price will help or hurt momentum. In West Covina, CA, last month the typical asking price was $845,000 and the typical sold price was $820,000.
Last month, the typical asking price was $845,000 and the typical sold price was $820,000 in West Covina, CA, and that spread tells me the market still rewards accuracy. For a seller, that means pricing too high can work against you right away. I would rather start close to the range buyers are already accepting than try to force the market to chase the number. Price within the recent range. Keep the first week tight. Be ready to respond to buyer interest quickly.
