Recent market pace supports action, but only if your launch is tight.
If you are debating whether to hold off or put your home on the market now, I would judge the opportunity by both supply and pace. Amherst County, VA had 2 months of supply recently, and new listings over the last 3 months averaged just 4 days in market exposure.
Recent conditions in Amherst County, VA show 2 months of supply, a seller's market label, and an average of 4 days on market for new listings over the last 3 months. A typical pending home in that same activity sample showed 9 days, and recent closings carried a typical sold price of $282,550 over the previous 30 days. For sellers, that is enough for me to say the window is still supportive, but the opening matters. A low-supply market can still punish a weak debut. Amherst County, VA is showing quick attention on fresh listings, which is exactly why I would make pricing, condition, and presentation decisions before you enter the market, not after. Prepare the home fully before launch. Price it against current competition and recent closings. Be available for showings immediately once it goes live.
