A market can favor sellers and still require patience when timing your move.
If your biggest question is how quickly a move might come together, I would plan for strength with some patience. De Motte, IN still reads as a seller's market, but the typical closed sale took 74 days recently, so timing your next step needs to be realistic.
The market is not lacking demand. Supply was 1.91 months last month, and recent closed sales reached 97.7% of asking. Those are strong conditions for a seller, but the pace of 74 days tells me you should build your timeline around a normal transaction window instead of expecting an instant result.
That matters most if you need one move to line up with the next. In De Motte, IN, there were 21 active listings and 12 sales recently, which gives me a useful reminder homes are moving, but not every property is moving at the same speed. I would treat timing as part of the strategy, especially if your plans depend on closing dates, school breaks, work schedules, or another purchase.
Build extra time into your move plan. Prepare your home before you list so the market time works in your favor. If you also need to buy, get your financing and shortlist ready early so one decision does not delay the other.
