I am reading this as a pricing question, not a guessing game.

If you are trying to decide whether to push, hold, or wait on a move in Redwood City, CA, the answer is simple pricing still has enough lift to justify confidence, but buyers are not paying whatever gets tossed at them like confetti. Last month, the typical sale was $1,865,000, which tells me strategy matters more than wishful thinking.
Last month, a typical sale was $1,865,000. That is the number I would anchor to first if I were making a move in Redwood City, CA, because it gives you a real starting point instead of a fantasy number with good lighting. A typical home was listed at $1,572,000 last month, and that gap between asking and closing tells me the market is doing what good markets do it rewards clean pricing, but it still expects someone to do the math before getting dramatic. I would price with discipline, watch the first wave of interest closely, and be ready to adjust before the listing starts collecting dust in the corner. I would also keep a close eye on the 1.42 months of inventory and the 9-day typical sale timeline, because those two numbers tell me speed still matters in Redwood City, CA.
