The written answer

A regional statistic averages across two states, six counties and submarkets that behave differently, so pricing from a regional median is guesswork. What matters is the recent record for comparable homes in your specific submarket and price band, read alongside current inventory and the gap between list and sale price. Preparation spend should be directed at what buyers in your band actually price — condition and presentation of the systems and surfaces they inspect — rather than at improvements that do not return their cost. Timing is a weaker lever than either, and waiting for a season rarely outperforms pricing correctly now.
