The market still favors prepared homes, but pricing and timing have to work together
If you are asking whether now is a workable time to sell, I would say yes for a well-prepared home. Monterey Park, CA still showed a seller-leaning setup last month with 2.5 months of supply, and recent offers were landing at 99.7% of asking.
That combination gives sellers a useful opening, but not a free pass. The typical sold price last month was $792,500 and the typical asking price for active homes was $877,500, so I would be careful about assuming every seller can command the top of the active range. The pace supports action if you are ready. A typical sale took 25 days last month, while new listings over the last three months moved in a typical 2 days, which tells me the launch period still matters a great deal in Monterey Park, CA. Do the prep work before the listing date, not after buyers start reacting. Set a pricing review point in advance so you can adjust quickly if the first wave of interest is weak. In Monterey Park, CA, I would also study the newest competing listings because they will shape your first impression more than older stale inventory.
