A smaller pool of homes changes how you search, but it does not remove good judgment.
If you are worried that limited selection means you have to settle, I would not accept that. The better answer is to search with more discipline. Acme, AB had only 2 homes available last month, which means your process has to be sharper, not weaker.
In Acme, AB, the previous 30 days produced 1 sale, 1 new listing, and 2 available homes. A typical sale took 23 days, and offers that got accepted came in at 99.6% of asking, so there is not much evidence that waiting automatically creates extra bargaining room. That creates a very specific challenge. You need to stay patient enough to avoid a poor fit, but ready enough to act when the right home appears. I would not confuse limited options with pressure to compromise on the things that truly matter to your decision. Know your walk-away points before you tour. Review each property against the same standards. Keep your financing and documents ready so a good opportunity in Acme, AB does not become a missed one.
