Make one decisive correction of 5-7% rather than multiple small reductions. A single meaningful cut resets buyer perception and generates fresh algorithmic visibility on listing platforms.

Time your reduction to coincide with a strategic re-launch - new photos, refreshed description, updated listing date.
