If you want to know how competitive a move looks right now, I would start with pace, supply, and pricing before you book a single showing.
If you are trying to decide whether to start touring homes now or wait, my answer is to get clear on the pace first and then move with a plan. In Tuscany, AB, the recent numbers show a market that is still moving, with 24 sales over the previous 30 days, so waiting without a strategy can leave you reacting instead of choosing.
Over the previous 30 days, inventory in Tuscany, AB stood at 27 homes and supply sat at 1.13 months. A typical sale took 27 days recently, and the typical home value was $688,800. That combination tells me you are not looking at a market with a lot of excess choice. For someone trying to buy in Tuscany, AB, the real question is not whether homes exist. It is whether the homes that fit your budget and layout needs stay available long enough for a casual search. Detached homes accounted for 20 of the 24 recent sales, with a typical detached home value of $776,800, while row homes were at $451,300 and apartments were at $369,200. I would use those price points to narrow your search before you fall in love with the wrong property type. Set your ceiling and your property type before you tour anything. Build your short list around the recent price points so you are comparing realistic options. Get your financing and paperwork fully lined up now. When a home in Tuscany, AB matches your criteria, move quickly and review the sale timeline against that 27-day recent pace before you decide how much time you really have.
