I would pay close attention to how quickly homes are moving.
When the pace changes, the next decision changes with it. In Shawnee, KS, a typical sale took 25 days last month, so I would plan around a market that still rewards preparation and clean execution.
A typical sale took 25 days last month, and that is the kind of timing that changes how I advise a client. It is quick enough to reward homes that are ready, but not so fast that every choice disappears in a day.
For buyers, that means I would be ready to act when a home fits, because hesitation can cost leverage. For sellers, it means I would want the home positioned well from the start, since the first stretch of attention matters more when the market is moving at this pace.
Preparation has to come first. I would line up your next step before you start touring or listing. In Shawnee, KS, the best move is the one that matches the 25-day pace instead of fighting it.
