The strongest position starts with knowing how quickly homes are actually moving and how close offers are landing to asking.
Before you put your home on the market, you need to know whether speed or price should lead your strategy. In Commerce Township, MI, I would lead with price discipline first, because a typical sale took 31 days over the previous 30 days and recent offers came in at 98.3% of asking.
The market is still giving sellers room to act from a position of strength. Over the previous 30 days, there were 26 closed sales at a typical sold price of $484,495, while active supply stood at 79 homes and 2.14 months of supply. That setup matters if you are deciding how much work to do before listing. With active homes typically priced at $525,000 and new listings typically priced at $534,999, I would not assume the highest starting price is the safest route. Buyers in Commerce Township, MI still have options, and a home that misses the mark can easily give back leverage through extra time on the market. Choose the repairs and updates that clearly affect first impressions. Set your asking price around the homes that actually closed, not just the homes that are available. Get photos, access, and showing logistics handled before launch so you can hit the market cleanly from day one.
