I would treat preparation and patience as part of the pricing strategy.
If you are debating whether to list now or hold off, I would look at how long a typical sale is taking before I made that call. In BLNG SPG LKS, NC, the recent sale timeline reached 123 days, which tells me timing expectations matter just as much as price.
Recent market activity shows a typical closed price of $557,000 and a typical asking price of $510,000 in BLNG SPG LKS, NC. At the same time, supply was 6.01 months and accepted offers averaged 97.4% of asking.
That is a useful mix for sellers. You do not need to assume weakness, but you also should not expect speed just because pricing has held up. My view is that sellers who prepare thoroughly before launch are in a better position than sellers who list first and fix problems after buyers start noticing them.
Handle deferred maintenance before photos. Choose a price that competes with today's options, not last year's memories. Plan for the possibility that a solid result may still take time, and make your move with that timeline in mind.
