Confidence is useful. Overconfidence is expensive.

If you are tempted to test a high number because the market still favors sellers, I would slow that instinct down. In Lake Elsinore, CA, sellers have leverage, but the recent pattern still points to pricing that buyers can defend.
Over the previous 30 days, supply was 2.37 months, a typical sold price was $580,000, and recent closings landed at 99.6% of asking. A typical sale took 48 days. Those conditions support a seller, but they do not justify treating the market like it will absorb any number without resistance. The smartest seller posture in Lake Elsinore, CA is firm and informed. I would not confuse low supply with unlimited pricing freedom. Buyers are still comparing homes carefully, and the close-to-ask pattern tells me that well-positioned listings are being rewarded while weaker ones are likely meeting friction. Price from evidence, not from aspiration. Make sure the home's condition supports the number you choose. Leave ego out of the list price. I would also decide ahead of time how you will handle an offer that is strong on terms but slightly short on price.
