A delayed move can cost leverage if you ignore how recent supply and pricing are lining up.
If you are asking whether waiting might bring a better outcome, I would be careful with that assumption. In Katy, TX, recent numbers support a sale plan built on present conditions, not on hoping the next month automatically gives you a stronger position.
Recent supply in Katy, TX was 3.72 months, and the market still sat on the seller's side of balanced conditions. At the same time, a typical sale took 32 days and recent accepted offers averaged 94.7% of asking, so the opening for sellers is real but it is not unlimited.
Here is why I would not drift. Active homes were typically listed at $360,000, yet homes that actually closed were typically at $316,500. Pending homes sat at $354,445, and newly pending homes were typically priced at $347,990. I read that as a market where well-positioned homes can move, while overpriced listings risk sitting long enough to lose the advantage that seller-leaning conditions still offer.
Choose your timing and commit to it. Price for actual buyer response, not for the highest number you have seen online. Tighten presentation before launch and be ready to react fast if the first wave of feedback is weaker than expected. Delay is a strategy only when it is backed by a better plan.
