Use the typical timeline to judge whether you should adjust
If your listing has been sitting, the decision is whether you are experiencing normal market time or a clear pricing problem. Use the typical timeline as your reference point. In Brentwood, TN, that recent benchmark is not short.
Here is the constraint I plan around based on the previous 30 days a typical sale took 86 days last month in Brentwood, TN, and buyers paid about 95.4% of asking on average. Supply stood at 2.69 months recently, with a typical closed price of $1,604,500 last month. The practical impact is that 'time on market' needs context. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Still, an 86-day typical pace suggests you should not overreact early, but you should have a clear checkpoint plan so the listing does not drift into stale territory. Set checkpoints and act on them. I recommend you compare your listing's performance to the 86-day typical pace in Brentwood, TN and decide in advance when you will adjust price or terms. Keep negotiation expectations realistic, because buyers paid about 95.4% of asking on average last month. If showings are happening but offers are not, tighten your positioning if showings are not happening, your price or presentation is likely blocking the market.
