Know what normal looks like before you list
You're trying to decide if your home is ready to hit the market or if you should wait and prep. My answer you can list with confidence when your price and timeline match how buyers are closing right now. In Leisure World, AZ, a typical sale took 54 days last month and recent offers landed about 97.32% of asking.
Here is the constraint I plan around based on the previous 30 days in Leisure World, AZ, a typical sale took 54 days last month, and recent offers landed about 97.32% of asking. Supply stood at 4.26 months, and a typical closed price was $344,950. That matters because readiness is not just about paint and paperwork. Some metrics were not reported for this period, but when the market is closing near 97% of asking, pricing mistakes and presentation gaps tend to show up as time on the market. Set your pricing expectations with the $344,950 typical closed price as a grounding point, then adjust for your home's condition and position. Prepare for a 54-day typical sale pace so your move-out plan is realistic and you do not negotiate from stress. In Leisure World, AZ, decide ahead of time what "about 97.32% of asking" means for you so you can counter cleanly instead of drifting.
