I would call it wise when the home is truly ready, because this market still rewards decisive sellers.
Is listing now wise? I would say yes for many homeowners in Rochester Hills, MI, especially if the goal is to sell into a market with limited supply and meaningful buyer activity rather than wait for perfect conditions that may not improve the outcome.
Supply recently stood at 1.18 months, with 60 homes pending and 35 homes sold over the previous 30 days in Rochester Hills, MI. Recent offers were landing at 99.8% of asking, and a typical sale took 18 days. That is enough evidence for me to treat this as a market that can still reward a well-timed, well-prepared listing.
The practical caution is this wise timing does not eliminate the need for preparation. Active homes were taking 39 days, which tells me some listings are still missing the market even while seller conditions remain favorable overall. I would not rush to market just because the broader setup is supportive.
Use the current window, but enter it carefully. Finish the visible prep work before you list, and tie your price to recent sold and pending numbers rather than to the highest active asking prices. I would also make your move plan part of the listing strategy from day one.
