LESSON 7 · Outsmart Your Own Biases
The Power of Precise Numbers
Not all anchors pull equally hard. A precise number grips you more tightly than a round one. A home listed at $362,500 anchors buyers more strongly than the same home listed at $350,000, because the exact figure signals the seller did careful math and knows the true value. The lesson for your own pricing and offers: round numbers feel like opening bids, while precise ones feel like firm, defensible facts.
