I would watch the current asking and closing levels closely before making a move.
If you are trying to decide whether to act now, the clearest answer is to start with price and pace. In Cape Fear, NC, I would treat a median sold price of $314,999 and a median list price of $314,900 last month as a signal to stay disciplined, not hopeful.
A typical sale took 59 days last month, and that pace matters. In Cape Fear, NC, I read that as a market where clean pricing still gets attention, but anything stretched too high can sit long enough to lose momentum.
For a seller, my first move is to price against the current sold number, not against wishful room. For a buyer, my first move is to compare list price to the closing level before I push harder on a property that already feels fully priced.
I would tighten the first week of action and watch which homes hold value through the full month. I would also keep a close eye on homes that stay active well past the typical timeline, because that is where leverage starts to show up.
