Market reports and neighborhood insights published by local professionals.
If you only remember one closed data point right now, make it this a typical median home went under contract in 30 days last month in Richmond, VA, and buyers paid about 99.8% of asking when they closed.
Where people get this wrong is waiting to negotiate later in a market that is already clearing near asking. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Even so, that price-to-ask behavior tells me your opportunity is created before you write, by picking the right target and being ready to act decisively.
Pre-decide your must-haves and your walk-aways so you can write cleanly when a home fits. Use the near-asking close rate as your reality check start close to market value, then compete with certainty and simplicity instead of trying to win with a low opening number. Keep your showing schedule tight so you are not shopping after the market has already decided.
