Your timeline should match how long homes are actually taking to sell.
You're trying to decide when to start, because your move depends on how long a sale could realistically take. My guidance is to plan your calendar around the typical pace, then tighten it with a strategy that fits your specific home. In Corona, NY, a typical sale took 125 days last month.
Looking at the latest numbers, the clearest signal was timeline a typical sale in Corona, NY took 125 days last month across single family and condo/townhouse/apartment properties. One short sentence timing matters. A longer planning horizon can keep you from making rushed decisions on price or terms. That said, the last three months of activity show recently closed properties with a typical time of 71 days, while pending properties showed a typical time of 125 days. This changes your plan because two homes can behave very differently depending on pricing, condition, and how clean the offer is. If you are selling, do two things now set your target closing window based on a 125-day typical timeline, and prepare your home and paperwork so you can capitalize if you attract a faster buyer. If you are deciding whether to list soon, also align your pricing posture to real outcomes, because a typical closed sale was $570,000 last month and recent offers landed around 96.7% of asking last month. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Even with that limitation, the pace numbers are enough to guide your next step treat your move like a project with milestones, not a date you hope works out.
