Recent timing makes early listing performance too important to ignore
If your plan is to test a high price and wait, I would rethink that before you list. In Chandler, AZ, a typical sale took 37 days over the previous 30 days, so the first month is too important to waste on a strategy the market may reject.
A typical sold home in Chandler, AZ took 37 days to close over the previous 30 days, while active homes were around 40 days at the month-end snapshot. New pending homes moved in 28 days, which gives sellers an early measure of whether a listing is resonating.
Those numbers make the first month critical. If a home is priced and positioned well, it should show signs of life before it drifts beyond the recent contract pace. I would not spend that window hoping the market eventually catches up to an unrealistic list price.
Prepare the home fully before launch. Treat the first month as prime time. If traffic and feedback are weak, make the pricing decision early enough to recover momentum in Chandler, AZ rather than defending a stale listing.
