My answer comes down to how the numbers line up.
If you are weighing a move in Bedford County, VA, I would still pay close attention. Last month, the typical sold price was $399,900 and the typical estimated property value was $395,560, so the market is still giving me a reasonably tight pricing picture.
Last month, the typical sold price was $399,900 and the typical estimated property value was $395,560. That close relationship tells me the market is not drifting far from where deals are actually landing.
For Bedford County, VA, I also look at supply, which stood at 3.04 months. That level keeps me focused on preparation, because small pricing mistakes still matter when buyers have options.
Use sold prices as your anchor. Watch supply before you commit. I would also keep the 31-day pace in view so your next move matches the market instead of fighting it.
