A closer look at the time side of the market.
When you ask how fast the market is moving, I look at the sale pace before I look at anything else. My answer in Alta Mesa Community Association, AZ is that the pace is measured, not rushed, and that has real consequences for price and presentation.
Last month, a typical sale took 46 days and the typical sold-to-list price was 98.6%. That tells me the market is still rewarding homes that are priced with discipline, while homes that miss the mark are not getting instant results.
I would treat that as a reason to plan carefully. In Alta Mesa Community Association, AZ, the sale pace gives me a good sense of how much patience the market is willing to give, and it is not enough to rely on hope once a home is listed.
Check the sale timeline before setting your plan. Then make sure pricing and condition support that timeline. Do not assume a quick result.
