Should I price below market to create a bidding war?

Pricing slightly below comparable sales is one of the most effective strategies in competitive markets. It expands the buyer pool dramatically, generates multiple offers, and triggers loss aversion - buyers bid higher to avoid losing out. The key is creating perceived scarcity. In strong markets, this approach routinely pushes final sale prices above what traditional pricing would achieve.
