Your timing should match the supply picture and what buyers have been paying.
You're deciding if you should list now or hold off to chase a better number. In Old Naples, FL, I would rather you list when your pricing and timeline are aligned with the current supply than wait and gamble.
One number to respect from recent data is supply available homes represented 14.11 months of supply last month in this market area. Where people get this wrong is treating timing as the only lever. Some metrics were not reported for this period, but a supply figure like 14.11 months is enough for me to prioritize precision price and positioning matter because buyers have options, and the market can take time to reward an overreaching launch. If you are listing in Old Naples, FL, commit to a launch price and presentation that win the first look, because higher supply means you cannot rely on urgency to carry the deal. Set clear internal deadlines for activity and feedback so you can adjust early instead of chasing the market later. Keep your terms straightforward, because when buyers have choices, they lean toward the listing that feels easiest to complete.
