I would pay close attention to pricing and pace before making a move.
If you're trying to decide whether to list or wait in Lee's Summit, MO, I would focus on how quickly homes are moving and how close they are landing to asking. Last month, a typical sale took 31 days, and recent offers landed at 99.6% of asking, which gives sellers a clear pricing signal.
Last month in Lee's Summit, MO, the pace was not slow enough to ignore. A typical sale took 31 days, and homes were still closing at 99.6% of asking, so I read that as a market that rewards sharp pricing more than hopeful pricing.
For a seller, that combination matters because it tells me buyers are active, but they are not paying wildly over list. I would not build a strategy around stretching the price just to test the market.
Price with discipline.
Keep the presentation clean.
Be ready to respond quickly once interest shows up.
