Your sale and your next purchase should follow one plan, not two separate guesses.
If you are trying to time a move in Shawnee, OK without ending up squeezed on both sides, I would build the plan around the recent sale timeline first. A typical sale took 99 days last month, so I would avoid assuming your current home will sell instantly just because the market still favors sellers overall.
The direct answer is that timing deserves more attention than most people give it. In Shawnee, OK, a typical sale took 99 days last month, while supply stood at 3.98 months recently. That tells me the market can still support sellers, but not on a schedule you get to force. If you are moving into a larger home, that matters because the next purchase may be competing with current asking prices around $259,000, while your own sale may take time to convert into usable proceeds. I would not let those two decisions drift apart. They need to be planned as one move. Decide first whether you need your sale closed before you buy. Set milestone dates for prep, list, offer, and closing before you begin touring heavily. Keep room in the plan for overlap or delay, because Shawnee, OK is giving sellers support, not certainty.
