What’s changed—and why it matters right now
If you’re watching the Oak Harbor market, one question keeps coming up:

How long do homes really take to sell—and what pricing strategy works today?

👉 The truth: homes don’t sit by accident.
They sell—or stall—because of strategy.

What days on market are telling us

• The strongest activity still happens in the first 7–14 days

• That’s when buyer attention and urgency peak

• Lingering listings usually signal missed positioning—not a weak market
Pricing is a launch strategy (not a guess)

• Use hyper-local data—not headlines or online estimates

• Price where buyers are already searching

• Compete against today’s listings, not last year’s sales

💡 Momentum protects value.
Why timing still favors prepared sellers
Inventory remains limited. Demand is steady. Buyers are selective—but decisive when the strategy is right.
Waiting for “perfect” conditions often means missing the strongest window. Preparation beats prediction.

What this means
✔️ Homeowners win with intention, not luck
✔️ Agents win by advising—not order-taking
✔️ A team will always outperform an individual
If you’re wondering how your home—or your current pricing approach—would perform right now, the right conversation today can save time, stress, and money later.
