The current setup can work well if you match timing with preparation.
If you are wondering whether this is a workable selling window in Royal Oak, MI, I would say yes, provided you are ready to enter the market correctly. The reason is simple supply was only 1.53 months over the previous 30 days, which still gives a prepared seller room to stand out.
That does not mean rushing to market without a plan. In Royal Oak, MI, 125 homes were newly listed recently, 100 were in contract, and 71 closed. That mix tells me buyers are active enough to support a sale, but the homes that win are the ones that remove doubt early.
For someone trying to move once and move well, this is a market where precision matters more than bravado. Active homes were taking about 40 days recently, while sold homes took 28, and a typical sold price was $364,000. I would use those numbers to shape a strategy that is realistic, timely, and easier to execute.
Handle the visible repairs first. Set the price from recent closings instead of aspirational asking numbers. Enter the market prepared, not hopeful, and use today's tighter supply to support a cleaner sale path.
