A competitive market is easier to handle when your price range leaves room to act.
If you are unsure whether your target price range is realistic, I would test it against how offers are landing, not just against list prices. In Fullerton, CA, recent sales show buyers still need room to compete.
Over the previous 30 days, the typical sold price was $1,062,500 in Fullerton, CA, and recent offers averaged 101.2% of asking. Homes also sold in a typical 15 days, which tells me the market still rewards prepared buyers who can move decisively. That is why I recommend shopping with breathing room. If the final price can land above asking and the decision timeline is short, your safest strategy is to set a range that leaves space for action without pulling you beyond your comfort line. Lower your search range before you lower your standards under pressure. Keep your funds organized for the full transaction. Decide your walk-away point before the next offer situation appears.
