CST Pricing Strategy

Position the home at the highest major buyer threshold supported by the authenticated value.

Authenticated ValueClosest Buyer Threshold
$2,161,027$2,150,000

The Customary Value of $2,161,027 is the basis for positioning, so the strategy begins at the first buyer threshold below it — the $2.15M mark.

Recommended Coming Soon Price
$2,149,999
Expected Sales Price: $2.16M–$2.33M

Predictive Analysis

If scheduled showings by Wednesday are fewer than six,

Recommended Active List Price
$1,999,999
Expected Sales Price: $2.16M–$2.33M

Because the Coming Soon price sits at the $2.15M level, Predictive Analysis™ moves directly to the $2.00M threshold rather than making the standard reduction, which draws from a materially larger buyer pool.
