I would wait only if the home is not ready, not because the market lacks support.
If you are debating whether to delay a sale in Hemet, CA, I would make that decision based on preparation, not fear. The market still leaned toward sellers last month, and that tells me the bigger risk may be listing unprepared rather than listing now.
Hemet, CA posted 3.21 months of supply over the previous 30 days, a typical sale timeline of 21 days, and accepted offers at about 100.2% of asking. The typical sold price reached $464,000, while active homes carried a typical asking price of $445,000. Those numbers do not read to me like a market sellers need to avoid.
What they do say is that sellers still need to earn the result. I would not postpone simply because you want a more perfect market. I would postpone only if the home is not presentation-ready, pricing is still unclear, or your move plan is too loose to support a timely decision once offers start coming in.
Fix the issues that would weaken your first impression. Decide your pricing range before the listing date is chosen. In Hemet, CA, I would also make sure your next move is lined up enough that you can respond confidently when the market responds to you.
