I would use pace and recent pricing to decide what happens next
If you are debating whether to move ahead with a sale in Seattle, WA, I would not wait for perfect certainty. I would start with the recent closing pace and price level, then decide whether your home can compete cleanly in that environment instead of trying to predict every headline.
Over the previous 30 days, 501 properties closed in Seattle, WA at a typical price of $830,000, and total closed dollar volume reached $510,036,460. That tells me there was real transaction activity recently, which matters if you are deciding whether your timing is workable.
A seller does not need a dramatic headline to make a sound move. What I care about first is whether your likely price aligns with what recent buyers actually accepted, because the typical estimated value sat at $845,900 recently and that gives me a useful upper reference point, not an excuse to overshoot.
Decide your likely list range before you decide your launch date. Review recent closed homes near your target price and remove the weakest comparable sales from your thinking. Go to market with a number you can defend immediately.
