If you want to know how to price and time your move, recent closings give a clear starting point.

If you are thinking about putting your home on the market in Richmond, MI, the real question is whether strong pricing is still being rewarded without waiting too long. My answer is yes, but only if the price and preparation match what actually closed over the previous 30 days, because a typical sale reached $350,000 and offers landed at 101.5% of asking.
Over the previous 30 days, Richmond, MI stayed in seller's market territory with supply at 2.33 months. A typical sale took 31 days, and the typical closed price came in at $350,000 last month, while accepted offers averaged 101.5% of asking. That combination tells me sellers still have leverage, but not the kind that excuses loose pricing. Active homes in Richmond, MI were sitting at a typical list price of $325,000, down 15% from the prior month, while newly listed homes came on at $342,450, up 18.1%, so I would treat pricing discipline as the first decision, not an afterthought. Start with a price built around recent closed competition, not hopeful gap pricing. Tighten up the condition issues buyers will notice first. Plan for a sale timeline around 31 days so your move, purchase, or downsizing steps stay coordinated.
