The pricing rule I would use when buyers have more choices
If you are deciding whether to list now or wait, I would focus less on the calendar and more on whether your pricing is sharp from day one. In Plano, TX, active listings climbed to 596 recently, so buyers have enough choice to ignore a home that starts too high.
Looking at the latest numbers, the clearest signal was the combination of 596 active listings recently and 283 new listings last month. That means your home is entering a field where comparison shopping is easy. The practical impact is that pricing discipline matters more than seller optimism. Recent offers landed about 98.1% of asking, but that does not mean every asking price gets rewarded. It means the homes that connect with buyers are landing close to list. I would keep your first week clean. Finish repairs before listing, make showing access simple, and set an asking price that can stand beside competing homes rather than above them just to leave room for negotiation. Another number worth respecting is a typical active listing pace of 46 days recently. In Plano, TX, that gives you a warning if your home misses the market early, time can work against you. Launch ready, not hopeful.
