I would measure that against current selection, price levels, and how firm sellers have recently been.
If you are thinking about waiting because you expect much better options later, I would keep that assumption in check. Last month in Airdrie, AB, there were already 448 active listings and 251 new listings, so buyers were not dealing with a lack of choice.
The more useful question is whether waiting is likely to improve your leverage enough to matter. Over the previous 30 days, Airdrie, AB had 3.32 months of supply, a typical sale timeline of 41 days, and accepted prices that averaged 98.1% of asking. The typical home value was $512,800. That combination tells me patience can help if you need time to get financially or logistically ready, but not because the market is currently starved for listings. You already have options to compare. What you do not have is strong evidence here that sellers were broadly giving homes away, so delaying only makes sense if it improves your own readiness or sharpens your purchase criteria. Use the current selection to define what matters most in your move. Get pre-qualified and set your budget ceiling before you assume later will be easier. Keep touring with intention so you can recognize value when it appears in Airdrie, AB. Waiting should solve a real readiness problem, not just a vague hope.
