I would not price without this baseline first.
If you are considering a sale in Seattle, WA, I would start with value before I talk about strategy. Last month, the typical home value was $853,940, and that is the level I would use to frame expectations from the start.
Last month, the typical home value was $853,940 in Seattle, WA, and the 1% monthly increase tells me the market is still willing to support careful positioning. That does not mean every home gets the same treatment, but it does mean I would not guess at value.
For me, the implication is straightforward a seller needs a price that matches the current baseline, not one that depends on hope. If a home is presented as more valuable than the recent number supports, I would expect the market to answer quickly.
Anchor the conversation at $853,940. Then decide whether your home deserves to sit above, at, or below that level. After that, I would build the rest of the plan around speed, certainty, and clean execution.
