The answer depends on whether waiting improves your move plan more than today's selling position does.
If you are ready for less space but unsure whether to make the move now, the deciding factor should be execution, not nerves. My view is that Clinton Township, MI still offers a supportive selling window, so waiting only makes sense if it clearly improves your next step.
Recent market conditions showed 1.15 months of supply in Clinton Township, MI, a typical sold price of $295,000, and a typical sale timeline of 25 days. Meanwhile, 72 homes came to market over the previous 30 days, which means fresh competition is active but still limited overall.
I see that as a workable balance for someone preparing to simplify. Low supply still supports sellers, and the recent sales pace gives you a practical planning window, but the rise in new listings means I would not drift into the market casually. If you are going to make a move into less space, I would want the current home prepped, priced, and launched with a clear purpose.
Decide what your smaller next chapter needs to solve first. Use today's market strength to support that move instead of delaying without a reason. Prepare the home before listing so your timeline stays in your control. Keep the process simple and intentional.
