Start with the price range the market is actually rewarding right now
If you are trying to decide whether to list now or wait, I would start with pricing discipline, not guesswork. In Fayetteville, NC, the recent numbers point to a market where well-positioned homes can still move, but the margin for overpricing is thin when typical offers are landing at 97.4% of asking.
A typical sale price in Fayetteville, NC was $250,000 over the previous 30 days, while the typical asking price for active homes was $257,500. That gap matters. Recent offers landed at 97.4% of asking, so the cleanest way to protect your outcome is to enter the market close to where buyers are already transacting, not where hope says they might stretch. I read this as a pricing market more than a timing market. Supply stood at 3.89 months recently, which places Fayetteville, NC in seller's market territory, but a typical sale still took 45 days last month. That tells me sellers have leverage, just not unlimited leverage. You can still command attention, yet buyers are not rewarding inflated expectations with blind offers. Price from the recent sold range first. Compare your plan against the current typical asking price of $257,500 and the typical closed price of $250,000. Fix condition issues before you go live so you do not waste a 45-day timeline on problems that should have been handled up front.
