Build your move around the typical sale pace
You are deciding how to time your sale so your next step is not rushed. In Cary, NC, I build the calendar around the typical sale timeline and then add buffers for real life.
If you only remember one closed data point right now, make it 36 days last month, that was the typical sale timeline in Cary, NC. That matters because your move plan should not rely on perfect conditions. Some metrics were not reported for this period. But with a typical timeline in hand, we can build a schedule that includes prep, listing, contract, and closing steps with realistic buffers. Work backward from your desired move date and set a firm prep start date. Price and present to maximize the odds of a smooth path inside the typical timeline, and keep your showing availability high early so you do not lose momentum. If you need more certainty, I will recommend building a backup plan for housing overlap, because even in Cary, NC, not every transaction follows the typical pace exactly.
