Pricing strategy for luxury sellers

We price against recent closed sales in the same community and product type, then adjust for lot (water, golf, privacy), condition, and what is active this month. A sale at The National is weak evidence for a Weatherby Lake cottage. A Liberty custom is weak evidence for Briarcliff.

Three lanes

• Aggressive: create urgency when the product is scarce and show-ready.
• Market: aligned with the strongest honest comps — the default.
• Patient: higher ask only when uniqueness and your calendar support it — with a written review date.

Overpricing a luxury listing trains the buyer pool to wait. Price cuts later rarely recover the first two weeks of qualified traffic.
