Use recent listing flow to judge how much room you really have to wait.
If you are thinking there will always be another option next week, I would be careful with that assumption. In Clifton Park, NY, recent listing flow has been steady but not deep enough to count on endless replacements.
Last month, 17 homes came to market in Clifton Park, NY, and recent pending activity counted 13 properties. Supply also sat at 1.07 months, which keeps the pool of available choices relatively tight. That tells me buyers still have options, but not the kind of excess selection that makes delay harmless. When new inventory is modest and a good share of homes is moving into pending status, a strong fit can disappear before your next weekend of tours. Keep your search tightly focused instead of browsing too many price ranges. Tour new listings quickly when they match your needs. Decide ahead of time which compromises you can accept so you do not miss a good home while waiting for a perfect one.
