Recent closings moved quickly, so I would make decisions early and stay focused on fit.
If you are trying to decide whether you can take your time on a home in Monrovia, CA, my answer is no. Over the previous 30 days, a typical sale took 10 days, so I would treat any serious move as a short-window decision and get clear on your must-haves before you start touring.
Looking at recent closed activity in Monrovia, CA, supply stood at 1.74 months and recent offers landed about 101.3% of asking. That combination tells me this is a competitive environment where hesitation can cost you choices, especially when a typical sale timeline was just 10 days last month. For someone making a move now, the biggest decision is not whether homes are available. It is whether the right home will still be there once you are ready. A typical closed price was $1,205,500 over the previous 30 days, while the typical asking price for active homes stood at $1,455,000, which tells me you need to separate what is available from what is actually closing. Set your price ceiling before you tour. Narrow your list to the features you will not compromise on. In Monrovia, CA, I would also review homes that went pending recently, because 10 properties moved into pending status over the last three months and a typical one reached that stage in 18 days.
