Use the reported months of supply to set your expectations
You are deciding how selective you can be without missing your window. My guidance is to respect the supply constraint and be ready to act when the right home appears. Looking at the latest numbers, the clearest signal was supply at 2.27 months last month in San Gabriel, CA.
That matters because limited supply can make waiting expensive in time and opportunity. With 2.27 months of supply, you should expect fewer comparable options to fall into your lap if you pass on a strong match. This changes your plan because you need a sharper decision process. A typical sale took 49 days last month in San Gabriel, CA, and offers landed about 98.8% of asking, which points to a market where preparation and execution still matter. Action steps I recommend Tighten your must-have list so you can move quickly within a 2.27-month supply environment. Keep your offer strategy grounded in the 98.8% of asking reality so you do not rely on unrealistic discounts. Build your touring and decision schedule with the 49-day typical timeline in mind so you can act fast but still stay protected.
