A sharper read on timing, pricing, and what matters now.

If you are deciding whether to move now, I would look first at how fast homes are being absorbed in Troy, NY. Last month, months of inventory sat at 0.93 and median days in RPR reached 39, so I would treat timing as the first decision, not the last.
Last month, Troy, NY had 0.93 months of inventory, 100.9% sold to list price, 39 median days in RPR, and a median sold price of $260,000. That combination tells me you still need discipline on price and presentation, because buyers are not paying blindly and the market is still moving quickly enough to reward clean decisions. I would not chase the market with wishful pricing. I would price with the goal of capturing attention early, then I would watch the first serious response instead of waiting too long to adjust. Act fast on pricing. Watch the first week closely. Use the sold-to-list result as your reality check.
