A tighter market can help your sale, but only if the listing gives buyers confidence.

If you are a seller in Richmond, VA, the obvious question is whether low supply still gives you an edge. It does, but only when your home enters the market in a way buyers can trust. Supply stood at 1.67 months over the previous 30 days, and recent offers came in around 99.7% of asking.
A typical sale took 23 days last month, and the typical closed price reached $390,000. Those are supportive conditions. Still, I would keep a disciplined mindset because buyers are staying close to asking, not throwing money at every home regardless of condition or pricing. That is the core lesson for sellers in Richmond, VA. Low supply opens the door, but your listing still has to walk through it. If the home feels overpriced or unfinished, the market advantage gets weaker fast. Handle the visible fixes before launch. Keep the pricing story grounded in what the home shows like today. Monitor response early and protect momentum. I would use the low-supply backdrop as support, not as an excuse to skip the basics.
