I would use the recent value before adjusting anything else.
Pricing clarity matters when the market is asking you to make a real decision, not just react. In Seattle, WA, the typical home value was $853,940 last month, and I would use that number before I changed anything else about the plan.
Last month, the typical home value was $853,940, and that gives me a clean reference point for Seattle, WA. A 1% month-over-month gain is not dramatic, but it is enough to keep me from treating price as static.
For a seller, that means I would be careful about asking too much without support. For a buyer, it means I would not assume the next opportunity will automatically come in meaningfully lower unless the numbers back that up.
Use one number to guide the next step. Check the baseline, then decide whether the home or listing still makes sense. After that, I would move only if the decision stays clean under pressure.
