Looking at the latest numbers, the clearest signal was this recent offers landed at about 97.9% of asking in Mobile, AL. That tells me sellers can still aim confidently, but buyers are not simply agreeing to any number put in front of them.
Where people get this wrong is assuming market strength can cover weak presentation. A typical sale took 50 days last month, which means homes still need to earn their result through condition, pricing, and early momentum.
My advice is simple. Finish the repairs and cosmetic touch-ups that buyers will notice immediately before you list. Pair that prep with a price that reflects recent closings, because typical sold prices were $250,000 last month. Then watch the first round of traffic closely and adjust fast if the response is softer than expected.
