Your calendar needs to match the market's actual pace
You are deciding when to list, not just whether to list. In Troy, NY this March 2026, I want your move to be driven by realistic timelines, so you do not get trapped by a deadline you cannot control.
If you only remember one data point from January 2026, make it this a typical sale took 26 days for Single Family Condo/Townhouse/Apt., and the typical sale price was $290,000. This changes your plan because a sale timeline and a price point are the two anchors you can actually plan around in Troy, NY. Some metrics were not reported for this period, so I will not guess at contract-to-close timing I will keep the guidance tied to January 2026 sale pace and pricing. Back into your list date from your target move date using the 26-day typical sale timeline in January 2026 as a baseline. Price with discipline around what actually sold in January 2026, so you do not burn critical weeks testing an inflated number. Decide now how you will handle overlap if you find your next home before your current one is sold, so you stay in control.
