A direct read on whether now feels workable

If timing is your main concern, Mesa, AZ gives you a fairly clear answer right now. Last month, the median sold price was $455,000 and the typical sale took 36 days, so I would treat this as a market where timing still matters but does not need to be dramatic.
That matters because a stable pace gives both sides a chance to make better decisions. Buyers can move without panic, and sellers can still attract attention if the pricing is clean and the presentation is strong. The 98.3% sold-to-list result tells me the market is still fairly close to asking price. I would read that as a sign to stay realistic on both sides of the table, especially if the home is not exceptional for the price. Watch the sale pace before you commit. I would use 36 days as the working timeline. Price with the sold level in mind. I would keep $455,000 in view when evaluating value. Stay flexible in Mesa, AZ. I would make sure the plan can handle small shifts without losing control.
