A clear read on whether to move now or wait
If you are deciding whether to move in Houston, TX, I would pay close attention to how long homes are taking to sell. Last month, a typical sale took 29 days, which gives you a practical starting point for timing.
Last month, a typical sale took 29 days, sold at 97% of asking, and the market carried 5.16 months of inventory. That is enough supply to keep me focused on pricing discipline, not wishful thinking.
For a primary decision, I would treat Houston, TX as a market where timing still matters, but only if the price is lined up with what buyers are actually paying. A typical sold price was $319,000 last month, and that should shape every move I make.
Review your target price against the $319,000 typical sold price.
Plan around a 29-day sale timeline.
Keep your offer or pricing posture tight, not casual.
