An asking price should have a job to do.
Build a price around evidence and a plan for evaluating the response.
Understand what a list price communicates
An asking price positions your home among the alternatives buyers are considering. It should reflect the property, the market evidence, and your goals. Choosing the highest suggested number without examining its basis leaves an important decision unexplained.
Look at the competition through a buyer’s eyes
Compare condition, layout, location, and ownership costs. Consider what a buyer at the proposed price can purchase today. Recent closed sales provide evidence; current listings show the choices available now.
Agree on a feedback plan
Before launch, discuss how you will review showings, qualified interest, buyer comments, and offers. There is no universal number of days that proves a price is wrong. The quality of activity and changes in competition deserve context.
Adjust for a reason
If the evidence changes, revisit the strategy together. A thoughtful adjustment should respond to what the market is telling you, while considering your timeline and the cost of waiting.
