Why the current pricing gap matters before you make an offer.

When you are thinking about making an offer, I want you to start with the price gap, not the headline price. In El Monte, CA, last month the typical asking price was $768,000 and the typical sale was $690,000, so I would keep my eye on value first.
Last month, the typical asking price in El Monte, CA was $768,000 and the typical sale was $690,000. That spread gives me a very direct read on how carefully I need to approach pricing. I also pay attention to the 30-day sale timeline and the 102.7% sold-to-list price. Those two numbers tell me buyers still need to be ready, but they also need to stay disciplined. Know your ceiling. Leave room for strategy. Move fast when the fit is strong.
