The market still supports sellers, but only when the number feels defensible
If your question is how aggressive you can be on price, I would answer with caution and confidence at the same time. Raymore, MO still showed 2.19 months of supply in the latest monthly snapshot, yet the most recent typical closed price was $390,000, so I would build your pricing around what buyers have actually accepted.
The strongest evidence is not just that supply is low. It is that recent offers averaged 99.8% of asking, which tells me sellers who price correctly can hold the line very well. That does not mean every home deserves to start high. It means the homes that match the market are being rewarded.
A typical sale took 92 days in the latest monthly period, and that is why I would not chase an inflated opening number in Raymore, MO. Buyers appear willing to pay close to asking, but the timeline says they are also taking enough time to sort through value. When those two things show up together, I want a seller's price to feel convincing immediately.
Review the recent typical closed price before you settle on your list number. Be honest about updates, condition, and features that either support or weaken your case. Price to attract the right buyer early, not to test every buyer later. That is how you protect both timing and net proceeds.
