I would look at the latest value shift before making a move.
Timing gets easier once you know which number is driving the decision. In Des Moines, WA, the latest value level gives you a practical benchmark before you make a move.
Last month, the typical estimated home value was $623,120, and it rose 1.5% from the prior month. That is enough movement for me to say timing still deserves attention, especially if you are trying to avoid a rushed decision.
For sellers, I would use that benchmark to decide whether to prepare now or wait for better alignment. For buyers, I would use it to keep expectations grounded so you can act without chasing every listing that appears.
Check where your home or target purchase sits against $623,120. Make your move with a defined price boundary. Then take the next step only after that comparison is clear.
