I am weighing price and pace together so you can decide what comes first.

If you are thinking about adjusting your price, the answer depends on how your home is positioned. Last month, the median sold price was $605,500 and the median list price was $680,525, so I would not assume the first asking price will carry the day in Cumming, GA.
Last month, the median sold price was $605,500 and the median list price was $680,525. That spread tells me buyers are still selective, which makes pricing discipline more important in Cumming, GA. For sellers, I would review the first response before making a second guess. If showings are light or the feedback is soft, I would rather correct early than wait too long and lose momentum. Set the price with the market. Watch the first week closely. Then make the next move based on what buyers actually do, not what you hoped they would do.

Election Day In Forsyth

It is one of the month's most important civic dates, and a good reminder for neighbors to make a plan early rather than wait until the last minute.
