If a home is priced just above budget, buyers may be more likely to overlook the home or put in an offer below list price.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if your strategy is to list your home for $599,000 to elicit more interest and sell for $600,000 or more, then you\u2019d need to achieve a premium of at least $1,000 in order for it to pay off. This strategy only tends to pay off in six metros, with four in California packing the biggest premium: <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/17420\/CA\/San-Jose\">San Jose<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/13654\/CA\/Oakland\">Oakland<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/11203\/CA\/Los-Angeles\">Los Angeles<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/17911\/CA\/Santa-Rosa\">Santa Rosa<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/16657\/TX\/San-Antonio\">San Antonio, Texas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/11458\/FL\/Miami\">Miami<\/a> were the other two places where this strategy tends to be worthwhile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is according to a Redfin analysis of about 685,000 U.S. homes listed and sold during 2017 or 2018 whose list prices before going under contract ranged from $400,000 to $600,000. The analysis compares the final sale prices of homes listed at the -0,000 and -5,000 marks with those of homes listed at the -9,000 or \u00a0-4,000 mark, respectively. In this report, we refer to the former pricing strategy as \u201ceven\u201d and the latter as \u201cjust below.\u201d The analysis also compares homes listed at the -0,000 or -5,000 mark with homes priced ending at the -1,000 or -6,000 mark, respectively, which we\u2019ll call \u201cjust above.\u201d We only uncovered statistically significant results in a few dozen metros, with findings varying from place to place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below is a look at the metros where pricing just below is correlated with a higher ultimate sale price, followed by a look at the places where sellers using that pricing strategy tend to sell the homes for less than asking.

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing a home just above the -0,000 or -5,000 mark can also mean that your listing will reach fewer serious homebuyers because it\u2019s just above the price threshold of their online saved search. There are 1.2 percent more saved searches on Redfin.com that include homes priced at $500,000 or below than saved searches that include homes priced at $501,000 or above, according to an analysis of saved searches on Redfin.com from 2017 to present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But in five metro areas, pricing just above actually pays off. All the places where that pricing strategy is correlated with a premium are located in warm-weather climates, with the exception of Minneapolis. We\u2019re not sure why pricing just above tends to pay off in these metros. \u00a0Possible explanations include price drops that may have resulted in homes being priced just above an even value before going under contract, or the fact that sunbirds and other people relocating from more expensive housing markets to South Florida, Phoenix or San Diego were less price sensitive than homebuyers in other parts of the country. <\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\"><b>Metro Areas Where Homes Priced Just Above Tend to Sell for More Than List Price<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Metro area<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Average premium added to list price when homes are priced just above<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Percentage of homes priced just above<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/2654\/FL\/Cape-Coral\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cape Coral, FL<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$7,947.16<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0.7%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/10943\/MN\/Minneapolis\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minneapolis, MN<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$7,142.65<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0.5%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/6173\/FL\/Fort-Lauderdale\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fort Lauderdale, FL<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$3,613.97<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.1%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/16904\/CA\/San-Diego\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">San Diego, CA<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$2,657.34<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0.8%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/14240\/AZ\/Phoenix\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phoenix, AZ<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$2,396.83<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.4%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><b>Additional Notes on the Methodology<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final three digits of home prices were not taken into account for this analysis; the majority (65%) of homes \u00a0have list prices ending in -000, and another quarter of homes are listed for prices ending in -900.
