Why list price still has to be handled with care.

If you are planning a sale, the first question is whether the number you choose will hold up once buyers compare it to recent closings. In Arcadia, CA, last month's median list price was $1,688,444 while the typical sale price was $1,206,440, so pricing discipline still matters.
Last month, the typical asking price sat at $1,688,444 and the typical sale price landed at $1,206,440. I would not ignore that gap in Arcadia, CA. That spread tells me sellers need to be deliberate about launch price, especially if they want attention early. When recent closings are still taking 24 days on a typical sale, the first impression has real weight. Lead with the right number. Keep the first week sharp. Adjust fast if the response is thin.
