A better way to narrow the right price range
The real question is not just what is available, but what fits the market cleanly. In Temecula, CA, recent closed sales included a typical sold price of $786,000 last month, which gives me a realistic filter for where I would focus first.
Last month, the typical sold price was $786,000, and recent active listings sat at a typical list price of $895,000. That tells me I need to separate what is listed from what is actually getting done.
For a buyer, I would start by comparing your target homes to the sold range before I look at anything else. For a seller, I would make sure the home does not sit too far away from the range buyers have already shown they will accept.
Filter first. Tour second. Keep the numbers in front of you.
