Use supply and pace to choose your launch window
You are deciding whether to list now or wait for a "better" moment. My guidance in Cary, NC make the decision around available supply and the typical time it takes a home to sell, not around hope.
Here is the constraint I plan around based on the previous 30 days supply in Cary, NC recently stood at 1.89 months, and a typical sale took 36 days last month. This changes your plan because lower supply generally increases the cost of waiting when you are already ready to move, but only if your home is positioned to sell within the market's normal pace. Some metrics were not reported for this period. The numbers we do have tell me you should treat timing as an execution problem launch when your prep is complete, then ride the first month with strong pricing discipline and presentation. Pick a list date only after you can complete the non-negotiables repairs, cleaning, and a showing schedule you can actually maintain. Set your pricing and adjustment triggers to respect the 36-day typical sale timeline, so you do not end up chasing the market after the best early traffic passes. If your move is flexible, I will still recommend choosing a clear go-live week and committing to it, because a 1.89-month supply means serious buyers do not have endless alternatives.
