Use recent sale pricing and the usual timeline to set your plan.
You're deciding whether to list now or wait because you don't want to miss your price or sit too long. My rule of thumb in Tomball, TX price to what buyers are actually paying, not what you wish the market would pay.
If you only remember one closed data point right now, make it this a typical sold price was $385,000 last month in Tomball, TX. That is the anchor I build pricing around because it reflects what closed, not just what got advertised. This changes your plan because recent offers landed at about 96.8% of asking last month, and a typical sale took 38 days. Translation buyers are negotiating, and time is part of the price. If your number is too ambitious, you can pay for it with extra days and repeated showings. I also plan around supply. Recently, the market carried about 3.57 months of supply, and it was described as a seller's market. You still have leverage, but it is not a blank check. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Action steps I recommend for a seller Set your list price based on the recent $385,000 typical sold price and the reality of 96.8% of asking, then decide up front what discount range you will accept so you do not negotiate emotionally later. Build a timeline that respects the 38-day typical sale pace, and get your photos, repairs, and showing plan finished before day one so you do not lose momentum while buyers are watching for price drops.
