Recent numbers point to a market where pricing discipline matters more than optimism.
If you are trying to decide whether to list now or wait, my answer is to focus less on timing and more on price position from day one. In Katy, TX, recent closed numbers still place the market on the seller side, but buyers are not paying full asking on average, so a clean launch matters.
A typical sale in Katy, TX closed at $302,500 over the previous 30 days, and recent offers landed at 92.9% of asking. A typical sale timeline was 34 days last month, while available supply stood at 3.49 months recently. That mix tells me sellers still have an opening, but not much room for inflated pricing or a delayed adjustment. I would treat this as a pricing and positioning market, not a guessing market. When homes are taking about a month to sell and accepted offers are averaging below asking, sellers who reach too high can lose valuable time. The active listing price in Katy, TX was $356,000 last month, while homes newly going under contract were typically listed at $342,762, which gives me a practical reminder that the homes attracting action are not necessarily the ones stretching highest. Start with a price that can compete with current choices, not just your ideal number. Review nearby active competition and pending price points before you go live. Plan for negotiation room because recent accepted offers averaged 92.9% of asking. Keep the first two weeks sharp with strong presentation and quick feedback review, and be ready to correct course fast if showings are light.
