The smart move is deciding your limits now, not after you fall in love with a home.
If you are waiting to figure out your buying plan until the right home appears in Rexford, NY, I would change that immediately. In a market this tight, the real advantage comes from already knowing your ceiling, your priorities, and your next step.
Recent conditions in Rexford, NY showed 0.75 months of supply, 2 new listings, and 3 homes moving into pending status. Those pending homes had a typical asking price of $599,900 and reached contract in a typical 27 days. I do not think this requires panic. I do think it requires readiness. When listing flow is limited, good homes can feel even more important, and that is when unprepared buyers tend to overthink or overreach. Set your max comfort number before the next tour. Decide which repairs or updates you can live with and which you cannot. Then act from that framework, because clear rules make faster decisions safer.
