A small pool of available homes can reward good preparation, but price still has to make sense.
If you are thinking about selling and wondering whether waiting would give you a better shot, my answer is to get clear and get ready now. In Ray Township, MI, recent supply stood at 2 months, which tells me well-prepared homes can still command attention when they hit the market.
Recent numbers in Ray Township, MI point to a market where selection is limited but asking prices are high. Over the previous 30 days, active listings stood at 6 homes, the typical asking price was $914,900, and the typical time an active listing had been on the market was 90 days. That combination matters if your goal is to sell one home cleanly and move on to the next stage without dragging the process out. A smaller supply level can work in your favor, but a 90-day typical timeline for active listings tells me buyers are still making distinctions between homes that are priced sharply and homes that are simply ambitious on price. I would start with two moves. First, line up the repairs, cleanout, and presentation work before you go live so your home shows as the better option the day it reaches the market. Second, set your price against today's competition, not yesterday's expectations, because in Ray Township, MI, buyers still have enough time to pause when a home misses the mark.
