That said, a tight market does make the mechanics easier. With supply at 1.63 months, a well-priced home in good condition tends to move without a long wait, which removes one source of stress from a move already driven by a life event.
The part that actually determines timing is preparation, not the market: sorting belongings, deciding what comes with you, and getting an accurate valuation typically take longer than the sale itself once the home is listed.
