My take on where sellers still have room and where they need restraint
If your biggest question is whether a home will still attract attention after you list, the answer is yes, but only when the price matches the market in front of you. Research Triangle Park, NC still showed 2 months of supply recently, yet the typical asking price for active homes was $352,250 while recent pending homes were centered at $425,000.
That spread tells me buyers are responding very differently depending on what they see. Recently, 14 homes were available, 9 new homes came to market, and 7 went pending. A typical pending listing moved in 17 days, which is a short window for a seller who wants strong early activity.
I would not treat this as a market where you can test an inflated price and expect no consequences. The typical asking price for newly listed homes was $399,000, while the typical closed price was $397,450 and recent offers averaged 98.2% of asking. Those numbers support a confident launch, but they do not support loose pricing.
Study the current competition before you pick your price. Aim to win attention in the first two to three weeks, because recent contract timing has been quick. Remove easy objections before you list by tightening presentation, photos, and access. If you also plan to buy after you sell, I would line up that next-step strategy before your home goes live.
