You do not need to rush blindly, but you do need to be ready.
If you keep asking whether you should move fast or wait for more certainty, I would split the difference. In Lake Elsinore, CA, recent closings took a typical 48 days, which gives buyers some room to think, but not room to drift.
Supply remained at 2.37 months, recent closings averaged 99.6% of asking, and the typical sold price was $580,000. I see that as a market where the right home still deserves a prompt answer. The pace is not chaotic, but it is not forgiving either. That matters in Lake Elsinore, CA because buyers often lose momentum by waiting for absolute certainty. I would rather see you prepared enough to act with confidence than perfectly informed too late. When sellers still hold the broader advantage, hesitation can become more expensive than caution. Know your ceiling before the next showing. Keep your financing and decision-makers aligned so you can respond quickly. Be calm, not slow. I would also identify your nonnegotiables now, because they become much harder to define under pressure.
