Sometimes patience helps. In this pace, it can also cost you the right opportunity.
If you are asking whether you can afford to wait before making a move on a home in Chesterfield, VA, I would answer carefully. You can wait on the wrong property, but the right one may not give you much time.
A typical sale in Chesterfield, VA took 26 days last month, and supply stood at 1.56 months. Recent offers closed at 99.8% of asking, which tells me buyers should expect reasonably quick decisions when a listing is properly positioned. The trick is recognizing which homes deserve patience and which deserve urgency. With active homes asking a typical $469,990 and newly pending homes at $404,990, I would not assume every listing is equally competitive. Some are simply priced high. Others are likely to move because they fit what buyers want and can justify. Pause only long enough to confirm the fundamentals. Know your ceiling before emotions take over. In Chesterfield, VA, I recommend moving quickly on well-priced fits and staying patient on homes that require you to rationalize the number.
