I am focusing on pace and leverage so you can make a cleaner decision.
When homes are moving at a steady pace, timing matters more than guessing. In Clinton County, MI, last month a typical sale took 26 days, and that gives me a very practical benchmark for how quickly I would expect a well-positioned property to move.
A typical sale took 26 days last month in Clinton County, MI. That is the number I would use first. It tells me I need to be ready before I get emotionally attached, because a home that fits well may not sit long.
For buyers, I would use that pace to stay organized on financing, inspection decisions, and offer timing. For sellers, I would use it to keep the listing presentation and pricing aligned with the market from day one.
Move quickly on the homes that fit. Keep your terms clean. Watch the 26-day pace and judge every opportunity against it before you make the next move.
