What it means for buyers and sellers
For buyers, a reduction can be a signal about seller flexibility, but each home has its own story. For sellers, a first price that draws showings in the first weeks is usually worth more than a cut later. A Richmond average is a starting point, not a verdict on any one property, and the right move depends on your timeline, finances and the home itself.
