If you are wondering whether current pricing leaves room to negotiate, I would start with the last closed numbers. In Riverside, CA, the typical sale price was $650,000 last month, and that is the number I would use as my reference point.

A clean way to think about pricing before you act.

If you are wondering whether current pricing leaves room to negotiate, I would start with the last closed numbers. In Riverside, CA, the typical sale price was $650,000 last month, and that is the number I would use as my reference point.
Last month, the typical sale price was $650,000. I use that figure in Riverside, CA as a reality check because it keeps the conversation tied to what buyers actually paid recently. For a buyer, I would compare that closing level against the asking price of the home in front of you before you move forward. For a seller, I would use it to decide whether your list price is inviting attention or asking the market to stretch. I would review the pricing gap, look at the first round of interest, and keep the next adjustment small if the response is soft. I would also stay disciplined about the difference between what a home is listed for and what the market is willing to carry.
