Do it when your numbers are clear, because the market is not leaving much room for delay.
If you are wondering whether you should write now or keep watching, my answer is simple make an offer when the home fits and your finances are settled. In Diamond Bar, CA, recent offers landed at 99.3% of asking and supply was just 2.47 months over the previous month, so waiting without a reason can cost you more than acting prepared.
Recent conditions in Diamond Bar, CA still call for decisiveness. Supply stood at 2.47 months, the typical sold price reached $1,113,000, and a typical sale took 32 days over the previous month, which tells me good homes are not sitting around waiting for every buyer to feel fully comfortable. That does not mean rushing into the wrong purchase. It means your green light should come from preparation, not from trying to predict a perfect opening. I would rather see you make one clean decision on the right home than keep circling the market while the best options move on. Get your financing, cash needs, and comfort range confirmed before you write. Focus on homes that already fit your top priorities. When a property checks the right boxes, move quickly enough that your offer still has weight.
